Software hiring has rebounded and the shortlist moves fast
The “death of the engineer” was overstated. Software is the standout demand story of 2026.
So if you’re hiring for AI, you’re most likely hiring an engineer and competing for them against everyone else who’s realised the same thing. These are the year’s most contested hires at exactly the moment candidates weigh stability heavily. The warm conversations we already have running are how you reach them before they’re on a job board.

- Employers planning to hire software developers and engineers rose from 32% to 60%
- Full-stack demand specifically more than doubled, and cloud, DevOps and platform roles rebounded just as strongly
- Counterintuitively, demand for AI as a standalone skill fell as teams want engineers who ship product and fold AI into their scope
