Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of
sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of
this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited
signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

Based on 15,036 postings that disclose pay
— 8.6% of this slice.
Fewer than one posting in six publishes a range here, and the ones that do are not a random sample. Treat these figures as indicative of the disclosing minority, not of the market.
The count at the top is every current posting that mentions Linux, across all roles and locations we track.
What does Linux pay?

Figures cover 174,839 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant
tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02.
“Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we
first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively
filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict.
