Showing 12 of 66 roles · 78 open in total

The board carries the 120 most recent of 78 open software engineer in test roles - the other 12 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? 11 of the 37 software engineer in test listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 9 more are hybrid. The other 41 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.
