Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI model, from public records. Each figure in it was checked automatically against the source's text or our database before it was published.

At the end of Nov 3, 2026 (UTC), 219 open roles named Unreal Engine, against 235 at the end of Oct 27, 16 fewer. Those 219 roles are 12.1% of the 1,806 open roles on the boards we read that day. Of the 219, 46 are at Epic Games and its companies, which make the engine, so the count includes the maker's own openings. Tencent has 68 open roles naming Unreal Engine, Take-Two Interactive 37, Sony Group 16 and Embracer Group 10.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8^,9

Unity appears in 92 open roles at the end of Nov 3, 5 fewer than the 97 seven days earlier. That is 5.1% of the 1,806 open roles, and 0 of the 92 are at Unity Technologies and its companies, which make the engine. The Public Investment Fund group has 28 of the roles naming Unity and Tencent has 24. Godot appears in 3 open roles, the same number as seven days earlier.10^,11^,4^,12^,13^,14^,15

Among programming languages, Python is named in 287 open roles, up from 276 seven days earlier, and C++ in 279, up from 277. SQL is named in 141 roles, 4 fewer than the 145 of the week before, and C# in 108, 1 fewer than 109. Go is named in 101 roles, 5 fewer than 106, and Java in 88, 4 fewer than 92. Rust is named in 45 roles, 1 more than 44, and Lua in 41, 2 fewer than 43. Because a role can name several technologies, these counts overlap and are not added together.16^,17^,18^,19^,20^,21^,22^,23^,24

Roblox has 56 of the 101 roles naming Go and 26 of the 45 naming Rust. Roblox had 263 open roles in all that day, Sony Group 238 and Tencent 221.25^,26^,27^,28^,29^,30^,31^,32^,33^,34^,35^,36^,37^,38

We read the hiring boards of 42 companies in 31 company groups at the end of Nov 3, and a company that hires through a closed system such as Workday is not read, so a company missing here is not one without openings. Our records begin on Sep 26, 2026, and a collector run began on 30 of the 39 days to the end of Nov 3, so a posting that opened and closed between runs is in no figure. A role is one company's postings under one title, an open role is not a hire, and a role naming a technology is evidence its team uses it, not a list of what the company uses. The counts are as we counted them when this article was written, and a posting confirmed or closed later can move them by a few roles.39^,40^,41^,42^,24^,4
