About EngAI Signal

EngAI Signal tracks how engineering organizations adopt AI, using the one public source where companies state what they expect from their engineering leaders: job postings. It is aimed at engineering managers, directors and VPs who want a factual read on where the industry is going.

What we collect

• Public job boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) of 69 tech companies and game studios, crawled daily, plus the monthly Hacker News “Who is hiring” thread via the Algolia API.
• Only engineering leadership roles: Engineering Manager, Staff, Principal, Head of, Director and VP of Engineering.
• Every entry stores the URL of its source posting. Nothing is invented or inferred from private data.

How postings are tagged

Each posting’s text is scanned for these terms. We store the sentence that matched so you can check it:

• Cursor: AI code editor from Anysphere.
• Claude Code: Anthropic's agentic coding tool.
• GitHub Copilot: GitHub's AI pair programmer.
• Codex: OpenAI's coding agent.
• Windsurf: AI IDE (formerly Codeium).
• Devin: Autonomous coding agent from Cognition.
• AI-assisted development: Generic mentions of AI-assisted coding, AI coding assistants or agentic development.
• AI governance & policy: AI policy, responsible AI, EU AI Act, AI risk or acceptable-use requirements.

Mentions inside hiring boilerplate (for example “candidates may not use AI during interviews”) are ignored, and so are vendors mentioning their own products. A mention is a signal, not proof that a team uses a tool, and a posting can ask for a tool without requiring it.

Limits

• The index counts postings by their published date. Postings removed before our first crawl are not counted.
• The company list leans toward companies with public boards on these three platforms.
• “EU” means at least one listed location is in an EU member state.
