What the data shows:
Infrastructure is the dominant signal right now:
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration in 2026 — companies expect DevOps engineers to design, deploy, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters in production. infracloud
Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of software engineering organisations will have dedicated platform teams building Internal Developer Platforms — up from 55% in 2025. 6figr.com
Job postings for DevOps engineers are up roughly 18% year over year since 2020, and almost 11% of DevOps positions are genuinely difficult to fill.
The fastest-growing slice of infrastructure is now code-driven: cloud landing zones, IAM, Kubernetes platforms, observability, and reliability work — pay jumps when infrastructure includes architecture and automation, not just operations. Ruby On Remote

@xameer what is the question?
@domi is Infrastructure the dominant signal right now in job market, more than core developer roles, single language , rust developer or haskell developer vacancies?
@xameer
Ah. Now what would also be interesting for this discussion, is what is your perspective and goals? Are you ruminating on this question because you are worried for your career prospects?
@domi not career per se but I need to do something to continue developing my product

@xameer
I have picked up this claim/observation/wisdom: The best engineering jobs are never listed publicly. Good engineers are pulled into the best jobs because they know other people who are trying to build something cool, and thought of them as a safe bet for a very competent employee.

So i dont care if enterprise adoption of $language or $jobtitle is going up or down
