AI is reshaping the tech job market. These are the top roles in demand and the jobs most at risk. (www.businessinsider.com)

Indeed released a data-driven analysis (Indeed and Glassdoor listings plus a YouGov survey of 1,035 U.S. tech workers, May–June 2025) showing AI is actively reshaping the tech labor market: some roles face a candidate glut while others suffer serious shortages. Companies that reorganized around generative AI most often cut software engineers/developers, quality-assurance engineers, product managers and project managers, then redirected those resources into cybersecurity, data analytics and AI teams. Indeed warns the market is shifting from a cyclical hiring downturn to a structural change driven by AI, higher role requirements and lower demand for entry-level talent. Technically, job listings in H1 2025 emphasize Python, SQL and AWS, with notable listing growth for AI, Python, Google Cloud Platform and CI/CD. Employers increasingly seek skill “clusters” — e.g., Python + machine learning + data analysis, or AWS + DevOps + CI/CD — rather than isolated tools. Generative AI is redefining traditional coding roles to include prompt engineering, AI integration and responsible deployment, creating demand for hybrid skills and forcing firms to compete for scarce specialists. Indeed recommends targeted recruiting and internal reskilling (identifying adjacent skill sets) as the practical path forward for organizations to close the widening talent gap in the AI era.
