The board carries the 120 most recent of 284 open data engineer roles - the other 164 are in the full member search. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 91 of the 135 data engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 21 more are hybrid. The other 149 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 88 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.
