C#: mercado
C# is the main language of the .NET platform: enterprise backend on ASP.NET Core, desktop, Unity games and cloud services in the Azure ecosystem. We track 6 647 open positions listing C#, 6 035 of them fresh. Modern .NET has long been cross-platform and runs in Linux containers, so C# shows up in the same microservice architectures as Java and Go. Most of the demand comes from Fullstack, Backend and DevOps roles. It most often appears next to Azure, SQL and Java. 36% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of C# developer demand.

Timeline: postings and sources
How many C# postings appeared each week since Aug 10, and from how many sources. The second line separates market growth from coverage growth: a jump in the week new sources were connected means we started seeing more, not that the market grew.
