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

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.

The way startups are built has shifted quickly.

We're excited about a range of startup ideas for AI-native companies that can now be built faster, cheaper, and with more ambition than ever.

👉 Have you used Figma Make already? What are your thoughts?

[Martin ✨ @MartinThePM]

Make your meetings fun today! 🎉

[Martin ✨ @MartinThePM]

My takeaway: Perfect for quick prototypes, playful experiences (like games), or testing within your existing Figma designs. Great especially for non-tech people who want to bring ideas to life fast.

@TheIshanGoswami Heya 👋https://t.co/XDxlb4Y2G9

For leaders, this is critical:
👉 It’s not enough to encourage experimentation. You need mechanisms that shape behavior, align incentives, and make change visible. CODER does exactly that.

Talking about AI is easy. Leading real AI-native transformation? That’s where it gets tricky 🥴

The hard part is not believing in AI — it’s making the transformation concrete, actionable.

[Martin ✨ @MartinThePM]

What makes CODER unique is that it moves us from inspiration to execution. It creates a shared language between leaders and teams, and makes AI not just a tool but a discipline.
