DeepSeek2026-09-08 01:18:11DeepSeek opens 150 roles focused on backend and Agent elastic computing, with no AI research hiresDeepSeek has launched a hiring push for 150 people, a sizable addition for a company described in the source as having roughly 300 to 500 employees in total. None of the openings are for AI research. Instead, all of them fall under two engineering tracks: backend development engineers and Agent elastic computing R&D engineers, aimed mainly at senior backend candidates with two to 10 years of experience. The recruitment details point to a broader engineering build-out around DSec, short for DeepSeek Elastic Compute, a platform that was first publicly disclosed in the DeepSeek-V4 technical report. According to the report cited in the source, DSec consists of three Rust-based components — Apiserver, Edge, and Watcher — linked through an in-house RPC protocol and running on DeepSeek’s self-developed 3FS distributed file system. The backend openings span six areas, from large model research platforms and Agent framework components to API infrastructure, online services, and data engineering. The job descriptions also show how DeepSeek wants engineers to work: close to frontline researchers, able to identify problems on their own, and comfortable using AI Agent tools in day-to-day software development while knowing when to step in if those tools go wrong.840
Artificial In2026-09-07 04:08:48Study says AI has added more than 1 million U.S. jobs, with gains across blue- and white-collar rolesA new report cited by ABMedia and based on research from The Economist argues that artificial intelligence has so far been a net job creator in the United States rather than a pure destroyer of employment. Since 2023, AI-linked activity has generated more than 1 million jobs, while roughly 200,000 positions were lost in AI-related layoffs over the same period. The report points to broad labor-market data as part of the case. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Sept. 4 that the country added 162,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.1%, a level described as among the lowest seen over the past half century. Even workers aged 20 to 24, a group often portrayed as especially vulnerable to AI disruption, have not seen a large break from the national unemployment picture. Hiring has been pushed up by a surge in data-center construction and by rising demand for AI-focused professional roles. Electricians, HVAC technicians, power engineers and maintenance workers are benefiting from infrastructure spending, while software developers, data scientists and cybersecurity analysts have rebounded after an earlier round of tech layoffs. At the same time, the gains are uneven. Data scientists and legal assistants are growing, but customer-service staff, bookkeepers and data-entry workers continue to lose ground.910
AI hiring2026-08-25 07:27:21AI Job Search, a 34,000-star GitHub project, turns Claude Code into an end-to-end job hunt agentAI Job Search, an open-source framework built by Danish geophysicist Mads Lorentzen, has picked up 34,000 GitHub stars and nearly 12,000 forks in about five months. Lorentzen said he created the system after his role was cut at the end of 2025, converting his own job-hunting process into a specification that Claude Code could execute. Using that workflow, he sent 69 tailored applications, secured 20 first-round interviews, and later returned to work as an AI engineer. The repository is unusual in that most of its 276 files are Markdown rather than conventional software code. Its pipeline is organized around 13 slash commands for tasks such as profile setup, scraping job listings, ranking openings, generating tailored resumes and cover letters, preparing interview materials, and logging outcomes. The system also includes six TypeScript job-site scrapers and two LaTeX resume templates. One of its most detailed components, the /apply workflow, breaks resume generation into eight steps, including fit scoring, drafting, review by a separate critique agent, PDF rendering checks, and ATS text-layer validation.1040
Anthropic2026-08-18 08:47:59Anthropic CEO reportedly worries some new hires are joining for pay, not missionAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei is reportedly concerned that some top recruits are joining the company for money rather than mission, according to an Aug. 3 Axios report citing a person familiar with the matter. Axios did not publish a direct quote from Amodei, did not identify any employees, and did not say whether the concern has changed Anthropic’s hiring approach. Anthropic has not publicly responded. The report drew attention partly because it contrasts with Amodei’s comments from August last year, when he said Anthropic had lost relatively few people during Meta’s aggressive recruiting push. At the time, he said the company would not break its leveled pay structure to match outside offers, arguing that doing so would compromise fairness. Public talent data points in a different direction for now. SignalFire said Anthropic has the highest two-year retention rate among frontier AI labs at 80%, ahead of Google DeepMind at 78%, OpenAI at 67%, and Meta at 64%. The firm also led peers on hiring-to-attrition ratio at 2.68. The discussion intensified after users highlighted an Anthropic job listing for a brand marketing events lead with a salary range of $320,000 to $400,000. The figure is far above the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics average annual pay of $59,400 for meeting, convention, and event planners in May 2024.1450
San Francisco2026-08-11 10:42:22San Francisco Rents Reclaim Top Spot as AI Hiring Pushes Two-Bedroom Median to $6,020San Francisco has moved back to the top of the U.S. rental market as AI hiring tightens housing supply in key tech districts. The input says the city’s average asking rent has climbed to $3,728, up 18% in less than two years, while CoStar separately put average monthly rent at $3,827, also above New York. The sharpest gap shows up in larger units: Zumper reported a median two-bedroom rent of $6,020 in San Francisco, topping New York’s $5,450 by $570. That does not hold across every category, though. For studio units, New York still leads at $4,560, compared with San Francisco at $4,180. The report also highlights how methodology changes the picture, with city rent figures ranging from $3,714 to $4,315 across Apartment List, Zumper, and other measures. Vacancy has dropped to 3.7%, the lowest level since 2019, as demand clusters around Mission Bay and SoMa, where OpenAI and Anthropic offices are located.

AI hiring2026-07-22 19:40:13AI Hiring Tools Prefer Their Own Writing: Resume Hit Rate Up 60% with Same ModelA joint study by three universities reveals that AI hiring tools exhibit self-preference: they favor resumes written by AI, especially those rewritten by the same model. Candidates using the right model saw a 23%–60% boost in shortlisting rates.470
