Questions

How is military software development matched to civilian roles?

By hand, as a family: armies name and split these trades differently, so the page follows the work itself - what software developers do in most armed forces - and the role areas every posting here is sorted by.

Do employers see my specialty?

No. If you add it to your profile it only shapes your own matches: it is never shown on your profile, to employers or in any data we publish.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
