About this page

Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (GitHub 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 shows the matched keyword evidence inline and surfaces named AI developer-productivity tools as expanded-row chips, so you can judge the signal 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).
