"The table below shows the eye-opening results. Mobile developer job listings have plummeted more than 70% since ChatGPT came out. This could be because AI coding tools are making it easier for more people to develop apps themselves. Java developers are also in less demand. This programming language is often used for mobile apps. Cloud architects and engineering managers are also down a lot."
"On the upside, AI architects and data center technicians are in demand. That's no surprise, given the boom in AI-related work and data center construction since ChatGPT emerged. The real in-demand tech roles are mostly related to running core systems of record for companies: HR software for managing employees, along with databases that help companies run their financial and sales operations. This stuff may be considered a bit boring, but it's essential and relatively hard for companies to replace."
Tech job listings from November 2022 through November 2024 show major shifts after widespread adoption of generative AI. Mobile developer listings fell more than 70%, and Java developer demand also declined, linked to mobile-app development. Cloud architect and engineering manager listings decreased substantially. Demand rose for AI architects and data center technicians amid increased AI work and data-center construction. Roles focused on core systems of record—HR software, databases for financial and sales operations—experienced strong demand due to their essential, hard-to-automate nature. AI coding tools and infrastructure growth help explain these contrasting trends.
