The market right now

Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
8 of these Vespa jobs state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $155K and $270K a year, with a median of $222K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are Singapore (3), United States (3), India (2), Norway (2), and Morocco (1). 21% of the listings are fully remote and a further 17% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Vespa jobs right now are AlphaSense (7), Thomson Reuters (3), Alphasense (3), shifter (2), Ironclad (1), and Artefact (1). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Vespa (24), Python (18), AWS (18), Kubernetes (16), AI Agents (16), ElasticSearch (16), Grafana (12), and Docker (12). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
