Open roles on their own job board

744 open roles on 2026-07-28 Not enough readings yet

1 reading in 30 days: too few to say anything (we need 4)

Counted by us from Ashby job board once a day since 2026-07-28.

Each point is a count of the roles an employer had open on its own job board on that date, taken once a day. The direction is decided by a fixed rule: a board is rising or falling only if it moved by at least 5 roles AND at least 10% over the window, across at least 4 readings spanning at least 14 days. Anything less says 'we cannot tell', which is a real answer here. A rising board is evidence of hiring. A board that shrinks is not evidence of job cuts: roles leave a board when they are filled, withdrawn or reposted.

    Headcount Not Stated Ways of working

    OpenAI advertises 87% of its open roles as hybrid

    What an employer advertises is the offer a candidate can accept today. It moves before any return-to-office announcement, because a policy reaches the job postings before it reaches a press release. Read it as the shape of the roles being hired for, not of the whole workforce, and read the direction rather than the exact share.

    Pay Change Pay and benefits

    OpenAI advertises a median posted salary band of $234,000 to $342,000 across 589 open roles

    Advertised bands move before published pay data does, because they are set by what an employer thinks it must offer to fill a role today. Read the direction across postings rather than any one band, and remember this is the ask, not the settlement.
