Fresh data about the health of the greater Boston tech job market today, from Natalie Robb at WaveLength Market Analytics, a Virginia firm.

Robb has been tracking the demand for six types of tech jobs since last October: application developers, network engineers, technology sales, technology marketing, technology product management, and technology product marketing, using publicly-available postings on employment sites like Indeed and Monster.com.

In February, Robb noticed a big uptick in openings in the Boston area: 30 percent across those six categories.

The chart below shows where the hiring has been happening over the last three months or so: the biggest gains were in tech product marketing, and hiring in tech sales started to perk up only recently.
