The board carries the 120 most recent of 63 open network engineer roles - the other 1 is 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? 6 of the 26 network engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 13 more are hybrid. The other 37 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

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.
