How do you know a company uses Linux?

Of the 28,899 open roles that require it, most are in DevOps and infrastructure (8,202), backend engineering (4,896) and hardware engineering (2,551).

What do Linux roles pay?

8,976 of the 28,899 roles state the pay. The middle of their posted ranges is $135k a year, converted to US dollars.

Can I download this list?

Yes, through the API: company.getList with technology=Linux returns each company's name, website, size, industry and headquarters for 0.02 credits a row (a credit is $0.10). New accounts start with 30 free credits.
