Separately, 173 postings are remote roles that don't list a country. We keep them visible rather than adding them to a market.

These markets rest on very few postings, so we hold them apart.

Compared only with June, so read it as a direction of change.

Solutions Architect is the most common role at 32.7%, up from 26.2% in June, and Security rose to 26.6% from 15.0%. DevOps fell to 14.1% from 23.9%. Many of the Security and Solutions Architect postings are general information-security and architecture roles whose titles don't mention cloud, which lifts both categories.

Seniority barely moved: senior roles are 22.6% of postings, close to June's 24.7%. Skills are listed on 75.4% of July's postings.

Methodology

How it was built

We collect cloud and DevOps job postings from four sources (LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Workable and Greenhouse) and remove duplicates, so a role listed on two sites counts once. We keep only roles posted within the month, across seven cloud role categories: cloud engineer, DevOps, SRE, platform engineer, security, solutions architect and MLOps. July is the fourth published edition; the comparison base is June 2026.

Solid and soft

Country, role and provider signals appear on most postings. Salary, certifications, English level and years of experience are sparse.

Known limits

This describes the postings we track, not a census of the market. General information-security and architecture roles weigh more in July than in earlier months. June's count was revised up slightly because some June postings were added after that edition. From July we count a posting as an internship only when it offers one.
