AI Replacing Engineers? Tech Job Demand Rebounds in US with Over 67k Software Engineering Openings

Many people worry AI will replace engineers, but tech job demand in the US is rebounding significantly. TrueUp data shows software engineering openings exceed 67,000, a three-year high, up about 30% this year.

As AI investment accelerates, recruitment demand grows again, which actually requires more engineers to participate. However, some job seekers still feel pressure, especially graduates, due to increased talent supply and fiercer competition for entry-level positions.

TrueUp founder Amit Taylor says AI may cut some roles but amplify the value of top engineers, and demand for elite talent remains strong.
