If you're planning your next move in tech, here's a useful signal. Our team recently assessed 79 IT roles by how hard they are for employers to fill.

When we looked at the skills behind the hardest-to-fill roles, the same themes kept appearing: cloud security and identity, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes and containers, production machine learning, and data pipelines built to support AI. None of these are brand new. What makes them valuable is depth.

Employers aren't short on people who have taken a course. They're short on people who have built, secured, and supported these systems in production. If you already work in one of these areas, your experience is in demand heading into 2027. If you're building toward one, a hands-on project you can talk through in detail will carry real weight in interviews. Our recruiters work with technology professionals in AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and data every day.

If Machine Learning Engineer is on your 2027 hiring plan, it helps to know why the search is so competitive. Many job descriptions for this role quietly ask for a researcher, a data engineer, and a platform engineer in one person. The candidates employers compete hardest for are the ones who can take a model from training to a production API and keep it performing once it's there.

We have identified AI and machine learning engineering as the most understaffed technology domain. Our Machine Learning Engineer hiring guide covers what the role really requires and how to approach a search that doesn't stall.

Which IT roles will be hardest to fill in 2026/2027?

Our team assessed 79 IT roles across the U.S. market, scoring each on talent scarcity, employer demand, technical specialization, experience requirements, compensation pressure, candidate competition, and geographic constraints.

AI/ML Architect, Cloud Security Engineer, DevSecOps Engineer, MLOps Engineer, and AI Research Scientist lead the ranking. The pattern underneath matters more than the list. The hardest roles aren't hard because the skills are new. They're hard because employers need several scarce skills in one person, backed by production experience.

That changes how you plan: some roles are worth a longer search, some are better scoped differently, and some are best filled on contract while you build internally. The full list is being populated, but we have the top 30 live on the site now.

Having a tough time finding a Cloud Security Engineer? You are in good company. In our 2026 assessment of 79 IT roles, Cloud Security Engineer ranked #2 for hiring difficulty, scoring 9.6 out of 10. The reason is easy to describe and hard to solve.

Employers need current, hands-on experience across AWS or Azure security, identity and access management, infrastructure as code, containers, and detection. Many strong candidates cover two or three of those areas. Far fewer bring all of them. We built a hiring guide to help HR and talent acquisition teams scope the role, set realistic expectations, and move quickly when the right person surfaces.

What a day.

Huge thank you to Boston AI Week and the Questrom School of Business at BU for pulling this off, and to every single person who stopped by to talk with us. We left with a full notebook and sore feet.

A few things we are still thinking about:

The question we heard more than any other was some version of "How do I stand out for an AI role?" Recent grads were weighing whether to build their own AI application, ship an agent on the side, or chase an internship. Experienced data scientists, ML engineers, and software developers had all worked with AI already and wanted to know how to make the move into an AI engineering title. A lot of people had built their own AI tools and agents on their own time. The challenge is turning that work into a story a hiring manager recognizes.

Boston's talent pipeline is deep, and there is real opportunity sitting in it. Many of the students we met bring hands-on co-op and project work with the newest AI tools, yet they are being passed over because employers want a breadth of experience they have not had time to build. Even the professors who stopped by were asking the same question from the other side: what should they be teaching so their students are ready?

That gap is worth a closer look from every hiring team in the region.

One session stayed with us: The Cost of Intelligence. As AI vendors move away from subsidized pricing, the advice was practical and refreshingly simple. Measure cost per completed task instead of cost per token, match the model to the work, and revisit those choices every quarter because the lineup keeps changing.

To the more than 130 of you who handed us a resume, in person or on LinkedIn: we are going through them this week and you will hear from us. That is a promise, not a form response.

If we talked with you about a specific open role, expect a note directly from the recruiter you met.

And if we missed you in the shuffle, our door stays open. We would rather be in this conversation all year than once a year.

Already looking forward to next year.

Some hybrid IT roles are realistic. Others are three separate jobs hidden inside one requisition.

When an organization asks for deep expertise across several unrelated disciplines, the candidate pool becomes smaller, compensation expectations rise and the risk of compromise increases.

Before beginning the search, separate the requirements into three categories:

• Skills that must be present on day one
• Skills that can be developed
• Responsibilities that should belong to another role or partner

The objective is not to lower the standard. It is to define the position clearly enough to identify high-performing candidates who can genuinely succeed.
