How do you know a company uses Linux?

Of the 890 open roles that require it, most are in DevOps and infrastructure (224), backend engineering (136) and security (64).

What do Linux roles pay?

96 of the 890 roles state the pay. The middle of their posted ranges is $115k a year, converted to US dollars.

Can I download this list?

Yes, through the API: company.getList with technology=Linux and country=GB 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.
