Several hundred Pilot Instructor positions at the Training Center available to line pilots after 1 year of service.
Prob an additional Hundred Check Captain positions at the Training Center to line pilots after line service as a Captain.

The Training Center positions are apply/interview positions available and right now they are having open houses and inviting pilots who are coming up on a year of service to try to get people to come work in the sim world.

All together between the airport and the sim building we have to have around 1800-2000 pilots based in Denver. On the current vacancy (and previous ones) there are unfilled vacancies for 737 Captain, so if you have been here a year (UA rule that you have to be here a year before bidding Captain) you could hold Captain in Denver.
That's bananas. In 2015 when I had to choose between the two, it was years to hold DEN as a FO and over 10 yrs to hold left seat on the Bus or 737. Crazy how things can change in a few years. If I had to choose today, I'd pick UAL living in DEN.
