## From job postings to hiring signals

Timeplot reads the tech job market the way it actually moves, one posting at a time, and turns it into a live picture of who's hiring, who's freezing, and where the market is heading.

- **Collect**: Every job posting comes straight from the source, directly from the companies themselves, not from aggregated job boards or third-party feeds.
- **Track**: We turn that raw data into signals like hiring velocity, role mix, tech-stack shifts, freezes, and layoffs, for each company and across sectors.
- **Publish**: Every week we publish one data-driven story on the most interesting hiring trend we found, backed entirely by the numbers.

## A new hiring trend, every week

Each issue digs into one company or sector: what the job-posting data shows and what it means. No fluff, just the numbers and the story behind them.

- [The job titles of 2026: GTM Engineer in, Prompt Engineer out](https://www.timeplot.app/newsletters/20261101-new-job-titles-2026) (November 1, 2026): Which new job titles caught on in 2026. Agent Engineer, Applied AI, AI Deployment, and GTM Engineer spread to more companies, while the plain AI Engineer title shrank and AI trainer jobs faded.
- [AI infra has the most openings, but vertical AI agents grow the fastest](https://www.timeplot.app/newsletters/20260803-wing-et30-vertical-agents) (August 3, 2026): Across Wing's Enterprise Tech 30, AI infrastructure holds about half of all open roles, but the vertical-agent group grew far faster, led by Harvey, while horizontal agents stall and hiring volume concentrates in a 27x stage pyramid.
- [FDE hiring keeps scaling up, and Databricks has moved to the front](https://www.timeplot.app/newsletters/20260716-fde-role-evolution) (July 27, 2026): Across the companies that post Forward Deployed Engineers in volume, open FDE roles climbed from 106 to 377 over nine months. Databricks split the role into industry teams and vaulted from the middle of the pack to the top, and a layer of managers and org roles is forming on top of the engineers.
