What the data says
The single biggest function hiring right now is Software & Data (117 roles) — carbon work is, at this moment, as much about policy, compliance and commercial execution as it is about science.
Hiring is 61% US-concentrated in our feed, with Africa, Europe and Latin America the next clusters — the voluntary-market project side pulls demand into the Global South.
60% of roles are entry-to-mid level — the market is still young enough to break into without a decade of carbon experience.
Methodology: a snapshot of the live roles Carbon Desk aggregates from employers' own careers pages and ATS feeds, plus partner job boards, refreshed daily. This is a read on our feed, not a market census. "Hiring employers" counts direct-sourced employers only; 181 additional roles come via partner boards and are excluded from employer and "top employer" counts. Function, region and seniority are inferred from role text; market is inferred from the employer's business. As of 2026-10-26.
