Next Thursday, 18 June 2020, we’ll be making three changes to technical Stack Exchange sites that make it easier to find relevant job opportunities.
Stack Overflow Jobs has opportunities for all technologists, and therefore it only makes sense to show these opportunities directly to the wide array of technologists that exist beyond the Stack Overflow community.
First, we will be adding a “Jobs” item to the navigation on all technical Stack Exchange sites, which will redirect the user off of Stack Exchange sites to stackoverflow.com/jobs. This will allow users to more easily discover and access our job board with thousands of technologist career opportunities.

Second, we will be making adjustments to job ads on the following Technical Stack Exchange sites:
- Software Engineering
- Code Review
- Ask Ubuntu
- Unix & Linux
- WordPress Development
- Magento
- Cross Validated
- Database Administrators
- Android Enthusiasts
Up until now, job ads on these sites were restricted to users in the US, UK, and Germany. We’re expanding this globally, so that users in any location can discover job listings that are relevant to them.
Third, we’ll be updating the job ad designs to be consistent with those currently being shown on Stack Overflow. The ads, which currently show 2-4 listings, will now show 8 listings, meaning we’re more likely to show users a job listing of interest. As always, these job listings are targeted based on location, tech tags, and user preferences to ensure we show content that’s relevant to you.
Thanks to Benjamin, Juan, John, Aliza, and Sarah for all their hard work on these initiatives!
We’re excited to better share tech jobs with the wider Stack Exchange community, and hope you will be as well. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to post them as an answer here and we’ll do our best to respond.
