First product collab for @trueupio! After working on a few job-market reports together, @lennysan came to me with an idea for a job search product for his community. Too hard to say no. I now also know what it’s like to have Lenny as your PM.
💥 Announcing Lenny’s Jobs: The best place in the world to find, vet, and land your dream job I’ve spent thousands of hours on my newsletter and podcast sharing advice on how to get better at your work. But all that advice doesn’t mean much if you don’t actually have a job—or one you’re excited about. Over the past six months, I’ve been thinking long and hard about what more I can do to help people who are struggling to find a job they love. Today I’m excited to announce the launch of LennysJobs.com—the best place in the world to find, vet, and land your dream job. What makes Lenny’s Jobs unique and awesome: 1. A laser focus on four builder roles at tech companies: product management, engineering, design, and growth/marketing. We focus exclusively on these roles because they’re what my readers are looking for—and because these roles are starting to meld together. We aggregate open roles from top startups and big tech companies, and unlike any other job directory, we vet every company we include and filter out ghost roles and generic staffing-agency posts. This is the highest-quality directory of open tech roles you’ll find anywhere.

Demand for recruiters is surging The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest. By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.
STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet) 3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding 4. Design roles have plateaued 5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance 6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline 7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow More in 🧵

I tried to warn designers. This is exactly why I built @MagicPathAI, you need to lean more into AI native workflow. You're getting outpaced by product and engineers now. Prototypes are the new PRDs. If PMs are doing this, what do you do? You either own that or you're out.
Replying to @lennysan
I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

Engineering job openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over 3 years There are over 67,000 (!!!) eng openings at tech companies globally right now, with 26,000 just in the U.S. We don’t know if there would have been more open roles if not for AI or if AI is actually leading to more open roles, but since the start of this year, the increase in open eng roles is accelerating even more.

State of the product job market in 2025: 1. The highest number of open PM and engineering roles in over 2.5 years (!!!) 2. AI PM roles (and AI-related roles in general) are exploding 3. Layoffs are slowing 4. Capital investment is increasing 5. The Bay Area continues to be the center of opportunity 6. Remote work opportunities are declining—and are probably near a new baseline 7. There are lots of open PM roles around the world There's a lot to be optimistic about! More details in thread 👇
