💻 Hiring for Developer Experience (DevEx) requires more than finding strong engineers. As organisations look to improve delivery, retain talent, and modernise effectively, Developer Experience is becoming a strategic priority. But while many recognise its importance, far fewer know how to hire for it successfully. To explore what great DevEx looks like in practice and how organisations can build it, we spoke to Ethan S., Co-Founder and CEO of Community Stack. In our latest article, we explore: ✔️ What Developer Experience (DevEx) actually means ✔️ Why technical capability alone is not enough ✔️ The skills and roles that drive stronger engineering outcomes ✔️ How to assess DevEx candidates effectively ✔️ How organisations can attract and hire the talent behind better developer experiences We also touch on the role communities play in shaping modern engineering environments and the insight this provides into what developers value most.

What does tech leadership look like when innovation never slows down? 🤔 At Web Summit Vancouver 2026 from May 11th to 14th, our Tech Evangelist David Savage sat down with leaders including Eric Wittman, Nancy Wang, Avery Pennarun and Nicholas M. to discuss the rise of the “builder profile” in leadership. One thing came through clearly. Today’s leaders can’t afford to stay distant from the technology shaping their businesses. From AI experimentation to hands-on product building, leading from the front is becoming the new standard. The conversations also reflected findings from our recent Tech Talent & Salary Report 2026, which found that nearly half of technologists value leaders with a deep understanding of technology.

Which tech roles are seeing the biggest pay momentum right now? 📈 Not all skills are being rewarded equally. Our Global Tech Talent & Salary Report 2026, produced in partnership with LinkedIn, shows that the strongest salary growth over the last year has been concentrated in roles closest to delivery, transformation and AI adoption, particularly software engineering, DevOps, product, project management and AI‑focused roles. These specialisms sit at the point where strategy turns into execution. As organisations continue digital transformation and invest in AI, roles that can design, build, scale and deliver value are seeing the greatest uplift. That doesn’t mean everyone in these roles automatically benefits. Seniority, commercial impact, and the organisation you work for still matter. But the overall direction is clear: pay growth is flowing toward skills that help businesses move faster and modernise. If you’re thinking about your next role or where to focus your development time, it’s worth asking: Are your skills aligned with where investment and opportunity are heading? 👉 Explore which specialisms are seeing the strongest demand and reward in the Tech Talent & Salary Report 2026: https://lnkd.in/enAKbVTb

The real AI risk for technologists isn’t replacement, it’s being left unsupported. 🤖 Most technologists don’t believe AI will replace their roles overnight. The greater challenge is navigating rapid change without a clear path forward. Our 2026 Global Tech Talent & Salary Report reveals that while access to AI tools is now widespread, many organisations are still early in their AI journey. Gaps in strategy, structure and investment in skills mean technologists are often expected to figure it out as they go. For some, that creates uncertainty. For others, opportunity. Those who build AI-adjacent skills in supportive environments are far more confident about their future employability. If you’re considering your next move, ask yourself: 📚 Will I be given time to learn and upskill? 🧭 Is there a clear AI strategy, or is the approach still reactive? 🚀 Are skills development and career progression genuinely supported? Understanding how other technologists are navigating this shift, and what organisations are doing well can help you make more informed career decisions. 👉 Explore how AI readiness and skills development are shaping tech careers in the 2026 Global Tech Talent & Salary Report: https://lnkd.in/eWYfgsRR #AI #TechTalent #Recruitment #TechRecruitment #DevOps #HarveyNash #AIUpskilling #TalentTrends

Cybersecurity is a top priority for every tech leader right now 📈🔒 But are organisations doing enough to retain the people protecting them? 📉 In an article featured on ComputerWeekly.com, Ankur Anand, CIO, explores a growing cyber resourcing risk many businesses are overlooking. Drawing on insights from our Global Tech Talent & Salary Report, the picture is concerning: 🔐 Cyber professionals are among the least likely to receive pay rises 📉 Many report lower job satisfaction than other tech roles 🚪 Nearly half are considering leaving their roles in the next 12 months At the same time, cyber skills remain one of the most in-demand globally, creating a dangerous imbalance. As Ankur highlights, organisations risk building “cyber risk debt” when they underinvest in talent, reward, and long-term capability. So what needs to change? It’s not just about pay. It’s about career pathways, better tooling, and embedding cyber as a strategic function, not a support role. If businesses don’t act, the cost won’t just be talent loss. It will be resilience. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ga26eUkm 👉 Download the Global Tech Talent & Salary Report to explore the data behind the trend: https://lnkd.in/gsnhztdJ #CyberSecurity #CyberTalent #TechTalent #DigitalLeadership #TechLeadership #TalentStrategy #TalentandSalaryReport #HarveyNash
