Questions
- How many DevRel tools are there?
- This directory lists 47 DevRel tools, hand-reviewed against a published bar and re-checked weekly by an automated link health run. That is a curated count, not a census of the category: tools that fail review or stop resolving are removed.
- What share of DevRel jobs are remote?
- 58 percent of the 36 roles currently on this board are remote or remote-friendly. The classification reads the posting's stated arrangement where it has one and the location text otherwise, so "Remote (US)" counts as remote.
- How are these numbers computed?
- Every figure is derived at build time from the same data the pages themselves render, through one shared function, so a number here can never disagree with the page it summarizes. Job counts cover live postings only: a role leaves the board 60 days after it was posted, or sooner if the source posting disappears. Event counts cover future events only.
- Can I use these numbers?
- Yes, with attribution to devrel.directory and the date they were confirmed, which is 2026-07-22. The underlying data is also available as Markdown at /llms-full.txt and through the site's MCP server.
Method
Every figure on this page is computed at build time from the same data the rest of the site renders, through one shared function, so a number here cannot disagree with the page it summarizes. Listing counts are curated, not exhaustive: this is what passed review, not a census of the category. Job counts cover live postings only, and event counts cover future events only, so both shrink as well as grow. Salary figures cover roles that disclose pay in USD; currencies are never blended, and the median is suppressed entirely below 20 disclosing roles rather than published with a caveat.
