TrueUp’s first product collab!
We built Lenny’s Jobs with @lennysan for PMs, engineers, designers, and growth folks.
Lenny designed a new job search experience for his subscribers. TrueUp powers the job data, company intel, AI tools, and infrastructure underneath.
💥 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.

Reply with the role and company, and even better, a link to the JD where folks can apply.

PM openings are at the highest levels since 2022
There are over 7,300 open PM roles at tech companies globally, and trending up. This is 75% above the low we saw in early 2023, and already up nearly 20% since the start of this year. Today we have the most open PM roles we’ve seen in 3+ years.
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

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.
Wake up, designers. While jobs across other functions are surging through the AI transition, design roles are stagnant.
Don’t take refuge in craft and taste. All members of technical staff must demonstrate newfound productivity. If that’s a topic you’ve avoided because it involves shipping or knowing your business model inside-out, you will struggle to make the case for your own field.
When designers can’t articulate their company strategy, it’s usually because they are neither its authors nor its executors.
Seeking new leverage is no longer optional.

4/ Design roles have plateaued
Unlike PM and engineering, open design jobs have been relatively flat since early 2023, and there are also fewer of these roles than PMs and engineers in absolute terms (about 5,700 globally).

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.
