# alder

> alder: jobs you can actually get, from where you are. It lists open tech roles and labels each one with where it can be done from: the country it is tied to, or how far a remote role reaches (one country, a region, or worldwide). Live right now (2026-11-09): 774,807 open listings across 6,521 companies, 3,006 of them remote anywhere.

Every listing links to the employer's own application page; alder does not host applications. Listing age, repost and takedown history are observations. Location labels are inferences from location text, shown with their evidence. Nothing here is a claim that a listing or employer is fake.

## Key pages

## Citing alder

- Cite the specific page URL, and the date you read it: counts and listing status change with every refresh.
- Say "observed" for facts stated in the listing (title, location text, posting date, open or closed) and "inferred" for labels (country and remote reach, seniority, role family).
- Do not present hiring pulse as headcount: it counts postings.
- Quote numbers with their date and sample size, as the page states them ("n listings", "as of <date>").
- Posted pay is the range an employer advertised on a live listing; it is not what people are paid. Visa-filing wages are offered wages on certified US filings; a past filing does not mean a current role sponsors.
- "Open roles cut" is a sharp drop in the number of open postings; it is not a layoff announcement.
- Do not quote an individual listing's body as alder's own text; it is the employer's.
