What new job position rise do you see in upcoming years?
LinkedIn officially shared the job titles that started appearing more often, and with the rise of AI, the market is restructuring.
The actual top 10 roles that have seen the biggest rise in listings (in the U.S.) are:
AI engineers – Engineers developing and implementing AI models that perform complex tasks
AI consultants and strategists - Helping organisations plan and implement AI technologies to improve operations
New home sales specialists – Which sounds like a rebranding or “real estate agent”
Data annotators – Labelling and reviewing data for AI projects
AI/ML researchers – Designing new AI models and systems
Healthcare reimbursement specialists – Ensuring healthcare providers are getting correct and timely payments
Strategic advisors and independent consultants – Which seems like a pretty broad-ranging segment
Advertising sales specialists – You’re reading a marketing blog, I assume you know this one
Founders – Not sure this can be listed as a job title in itself, but LinkedIn’s keen to highlight how people are shifting to their own businesses
Sales executives
Speaking for myself, I have already seen many job positions that were not traditional, e.g. MEME connoisseur, AI content expert or even some guys were offering jobs for an AI agent (software), I think it was from FireCrawl...
Do you have any experience with less traditional job postings lately? Feel free to share.

@hira_siddiqui1 Solofounder as well. Almost everybody can build with the help of AI.
Frontend Technologies Operations > Good Frontend dev to change role and build tools, frameworks, etc to run efficiently AI Agents to develop Frontend technogies
Product Engineers > Product people but working directly in the Frontend using tools and AI Agents to generate the code
That's the new Product <> Engineering relationship I believe will raise. That's the one as a founder I'm fostering personally, because I already see its benefits

@christophe_henner To be honest, I am not so much in development, but I think that AI mostly hit creators (writers/designers) and programmers.
This matches what I’m seeing as a founder as well.
One shift I find especially interesting is how roles are becoming more outcome-focused than title-focused. For example, instead of hiring a “frontend dev” or “marketer,” teams are looking for people who can ship, automate, and own results using AI tools.
I’m also seeing growth in hybrid roles like AI-enabled operators — people who aren’t ML engineers but know how to combine AI tools, workflows, and data to solve real business problems.
In my experience, the winners won’t just be those who know AI, but those who can apply it practically in day-to-day work. Curious to see how many of these roles become permanent vs. transitional over the next few years.
