Software developer job postings have picked up since the introduction of Claude Code in early 2025, according to an analysis from the Indeed Hiring Lab. The nearly 15% increase in software developer listings in the US since last February coincides with the release of Claude Code and other agentic AI tools, a coincidence that Indeed Hiring Lab economist Guillermo Gallacher wrote "cannot be ignored." The share of software development job postings also ticked up in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, while overall US job postings fell 7% in the same period. Gallacher wrote, "The relationship between AI exposure and job postings appears to be flipping, from job destruction to job creation." Jeff Bezos recently told the Financial Times that people who professed that many jobs would disappear "are just wrong." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who once predicted that "entire classes of jobs will go away," said this year that he's no longer predicting a labor apocalypse. Many of the software developer roles posted in the past year are for senior positions. Overall, software developer job listings are still about 27.5% below their pre-pandemic level. Gallacher added, "When analyzing the more recent period in which software development job postings have rebounded, the relationship and story flip: the more exposed to AI an occupation is, on average, the more it rebounded."
