The hiring posts we saw were for senior Python developers: one salaried role, and contract work evaluating AI-written code.

Of the 11 posts we've read from r/PythonJobs since October 2026, 3 were hiring. The others: 6 people offering their services without the tag, 1 spam or promotional post and 1 unpaid collaboration. Posts tagged [For Hire] or [Offer] are skipped before we read anything, so they aren't counted.

Right now: 2 of the 3 open jobs name an amount, 2 are remote, and 1 carries a scam warning.
