r/developerjobshiring posts only

Despite the name, most posts on r/developerjobs aren't jobs. Developers offering their services outnumber the hiring posts several times over, and career questions come next.

The hiring posts are a mix of software, AI and mobile roles, from internships and fresh-graduate annotation work to senior contracts. Few of them state pay.

• Few posts state pay, so settle the rate and payment terms before any work starts.
• Founding-member and equity-only roles turn up here too. Treat them as unpaid unless there's a salary.

And everywhere on Reddit: read the whole post and its comments, and never pay to get a job. Our guide to Reddit job scams has the warning signs we see most.
