The market in Minneapolis, MN

455 distinct openings
311 based in the metro
144 national / remote pool
27% remote-flagged
12,238 located developers

Openings are distinct reqs (near-duplicate postings deduped), not raw posting counts. Distinct openings includes both rows beneath it. "National / remote pool" counts reqs credited to Minneapolis, MN by a nationwide or remote posting rather than by a location stated here — real opportunities for someone living in the metro, which is why they are counted, but not evidence of an employer based in it. That is a different question from remote-flagged, which is how each req describes its own working arrangement, so the two do not add up or contain one another. Located developers is a GitHub-profile supply signal, not a hire count.

Who's hiring

Employers with openings here, alphabetically. Each opening is credited to the real employer on its canonical posting, so aggregator and staffing-agency mirrors are attributed to the actual hirer rather than the reposter. This is a sample of who is hiring, not a ranking and not a complete list. Each name opens one of that employer's postings here — a sample of their hiring in this metro, not all of it.
