Software Developer Job Postings Rise Nearly 15% Since February 2025

Job postings for software developers have increased by nearly 15% in the US since February 2025, following the introduction of Claude Code and other AI tools. This trend is significant, as overall US job postings fell by 7% in the same timeframe. Despite earlier predictions of job losses in tech due to AI, business leaders are now indicating a shift towards job creation in AI-related fields. This uptick in demand for software developers, while still 27.5% below pre-pandemic levels, suggests potential opportunities for job seekers in the tech industry.
