React leads today's board across 50 new roles

Resume theater is losing to portable capability. In the 2026-09-05 Job Index window we counted 50 new roles. After broad tags drop out, buyers are shopping a short list of demonstrable skills.

Index snapshot (publishable skills only)#

Snapshot 2026-09-05 holds 50 new roles. Publishable skill coverage in this window: 45 atomic tags (broad communication-style labels stay audit-only).

Here is the skill table that survived the filter:

Skill	Roles in today's window
Cybersecurity	31
Python	29
JavaScript	24
Machine Learning	23
SQL	23
AWS	22

React is today's public lead - 18 roles - after the 7-day category cooldown. Cybersecurity may be louder by raw count (31 roles) but is not the public headline today.

About 20.0% of top-skill sample titles mention remote or distributed work in this window. Treat that as a weak location signal inside the crawl, not a market-wide remote percentage.

Titles hide the work; skills travel#

A senior title can mean three different jobs depending on the company. A named skill with an artifact means one thing. Stack small proofs and the market can underwrite you without decoding your last employer politics.

What to do with the signal#

If you hire, rewrite the first screen of your pipeline around skill demos. If you sell your time, publish one artifact tied to today's lead skill and ask for introductions where that skill is already budgeted. Repeat until the chain is obvious.
