Jobs
Every open software job across the Akron metro — Summit County (Akron itself plus Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Barberton, and the Fairlawn corridor) and the Portage County ring around Kent State — pulled straight from each employer’s own careers feed and laid out plainly, with no aggregator noise in between. The Rubber Capital’s tech now runs from connected-tire and polymer R&D through grid IT and healthcare systems. I keep it local and primary-sourced so wherever you are in the search, the next step is a little easier.

Briefs are short editorial dispatches I publish when something newsworthy happens. They show up here as they happen. Check the global feed.
Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or names LLM/agent/RAG/embeddings as core to the day-to-day; AI mentioned when the description mentions AI tooling in passing without it being the core skill; No AI mention when the description contains none of the relevant keywords. Each row links to the matched keywords inline so you can judge for yourself.
The geographic filter is opinionated. Summit County (Akron) postings are always included — the city itself plus the Summit suburbs (Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Tallmadge, Barberton, Fairlawn, Twinsburg, Macedonia). So are postings across the Portage County ring to the east — Kent (Kent State University), Ravenna, Aurora, Streetsboro, and Rootstown (NEOMED). Canton (Stark County) and the Cleveland metro (Cuyahoga County) are intentionally OUT — Cleveland has its own board and Canton gets its own launch later. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has an Akron-area office — otherwise anywhere-in-the-US remote noise would swamp the page. Use the Location filter to narrow to a specific city.
This page is an independent aggregation. Mungomash is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the employers listed. Application-status tracking and email alerts are out of scope. Per-posting salary ranges are surfaced inline when the employer discloses one — structured ATS fields first, JD-body prose as a fallback; rows with no disclosed range render no chip. For broader salary context, see H-1B Salaries (visa-petition disclosures) and Dev Wages (national survey).
