October 2026snapshot — a first-party, monthly read on the fintech job market drawn straight from 4,244 active listings on Finjobsly. Updated daily; the row for each month locks once that month ends, so past editions never change.

| Month | Active listings | Employers tracked | Raw change vs prior month |
|---|---|---|---|

The change is the raw difference in active listings between monthly snapshots. The employer base is similar across months (see table), so the movement reflects listings at tracked employers rather than a wider panel. It measures listings on Finjobsly, not total market hiring, and we cannot yet separate genuinely new roles from changes in how many of an employer's listings we capture. Per-employer counts are now stored with each snapshot, so a like-for-like comparison across the same employers will appear here once two months of that data exist.

Figures are advertised salary ranges from live listings. Sales roles such as SDRs often advertise on-target earnings (base plus commission), so their medians can sit above base pay.

Work location
Seniority
Each row in the Hiring Index covers every job listing on Finjobsly with status “active” or “published” that has not expired: expiry is an explicit expiry date if the listing has one, otherwise 30 days after the later of its posted date or the date it was last reconfirmed live. A cron job recomputes and overwrites the current month’s row daily; once a new month starts, the previous month’s row is marked locked and is never written to again.
Remote/hybrid/onsite mix and seniority are read directly from each listing’s structured location and seniority fields. Salary disclosure rate counts listings with either a minimum or maximum pay value set. Sub-vertical mix is computed with the same keyword-classification logic used on Finjobsly’s category pages (e.g. /fintech-jobs, /ai-finance-jobs), applied only to listings with an enriched description — so the sum of sub-vertical counts can be less than the total active count, and a listing can appear in more than one sub-vertical.
No figure on this page is estimated, modelled, or sourced from a third party: every number is a direct count over Finjobsly’s own live listings at the time the row was last computed (22 October 2026). Full detail on job origination, deduplication, normalization and sample thresholds is at /research/methodology.
