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. Knox County (Knoxville) postings are always included; so are postings across the surrounding MSA — Anderson County (the Oak Ridge belt: ORNL, Y-12, the East Tennessee Technology Park), Blount County (Maryville and Alcoa, with Clayton Homes and the DENSO plant), Campbell County (LaFollette), Grainger County (Rutledge), Loudon County (Lenoir City and Tellico Village), Morgan County (Wartburg), Roane County (Kingston and Harriman), and Union County (Maynardville). Sevier County — Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg — sits just outside the official Knoxville MSA but is included here as the obvious commute-shed and tourism extension. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has a Knoxville-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).
