Every advert is a real, currently open vacancy. We name employers at market level, who is hiring, where and at what level, and anonymise them at advert level until we have spoken with you.

Browse every open vacancy

One page per function and per city, each listing the adverts currently open in it.

The market we cover

22 quantitative employers sit inside our coverage. Every vacancy carries a first-party verification date, a first-seen date and a last-confirmed date, and our analysts write each advert from those facts. Employers are named at market level and anonymised at advert level, so this list tells you the market we cover, never who is behind an individual role.

Tracked hiring book: 1,457 live vacancies across 21 employers, last confirmed 31 October 2026. Each vacancy is verified first-party and classified by a published rule set you can inspect.

Every vacancy on this page is one a desk is hiring for right now

Each advert was open when we last read its source, and every listing carries that last-observed date. Where an employer publishes pay we show the stated figure; where nobody does, we either model a labelled band or say pay is not published.
