How this was computed
Weekly job-count charts omit the incomplete current week (weeks start Monday, UTC). Totals include all postings in the stated window. Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-10-30, matching postings whose canonical role is “Release Engineer”. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-posted roles). An adjusted trend is not shown because comparable posting coverage is insufficient.
