📊 Hiring Signals #2 — The Rise of AI Infrastructure Roles (October 2025) The fastest-growing AI jobs this year aren’t in model research. They’re in infrastructure. 📈 MLOps Engineers → 9.8× growth in 5 years, salaries up ~20% YoY. 📈 Vector Database Developers (RAG / LangChain) → 1,700+ open roles on Indeed, $190K-$245K avg salary. 📈 GPU Cloud Specialists → now critical hires for enterprise AI deployment. Salaries range from $129K-$246K. 💡 The Macro shift: 1️⃣AI hiring has moved from research → production. 2️⃣Companies want engineers who can ship not just prototype. 3️⃣The stack is now standardized around PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, and Kubernetes. 🌏 Where it’s happening: 💠 Asia leads global AI job growth at 94.2% YoY, outpacing North America’s 88.9%. 💠Rust developers earn 15–20% premiums as AI + Web3 systems converge. 💠The infrastructure layer has become the new battleground for AI talent.

Amid the noise of #KBW2025, we chose stillness. 🧘♀️ In a week filled with back-to-back panels, parties, pitches, and protocols — we made space to just breathe. 🌿 We believe that even in the fastest-moving industries, founders and teams deserve moments of mindfulness. That’s why we intentionally created a "slow moment" during an otherwise hectic schedule — to reset, refocus, and reconnect with intention. 💙 Because slowing down is part of scaling up. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us in this quiet experiment. Let’s make this the norm, not the exception. #HyphenConnect #KBW2025 #Web3Recruitment #KoreaBlockchainWeek
