Compensation is reported only where a posting states it: the collected rows carry no structured salary field, so this report makes no pay claim.

Method and limits

• Source is the company's official applicant-tracking board, sampled once; counts are open postings, not hires, offers, or headcount.
• The technical-title filter drops obvious non-engineering titles (operations, recruiting, sales, design, finance); a research or policy title that names no engineering work can still pass it, and the board total above counts every posting either way.
• Days open is report date − first published; a very old posting may be evergreen or reposted.
• Level labels come from the title and any years stated in the posting, so a senior role with a generalist title reads as mid/unspecified.
• Family labels come from literal title matching, so a role can sit in a family it never names.
