AI isn't replacing engineers so much as reshaping who else gets hired.

New data from SignalFire shows software engineers make up 55% of hiring at major tech companies, up from 46% in 2019, even as overall hiring remains below pre-pandemic levels.

Other functions are shrinking faster. While engineer hiring is down 11% since 2019, design hiring is down 48%, product management has fallen 39%, and marketing is down 36%.

The result is a leaner org chart built around technical talent, with fewer specialized support roles.
