Palo Alto Networks and Nvidia Israel continue to recruit hundreds of engineers and researchers even as thousands of technology workers lose their jobs elsewhere. But executives at both companies say the AI revolution is fundamentally changing the type of talent they seek, the skills engineers need, and even the definition of traditional technology roles. Rather than reducing demand for engineers, they argue, AI is shifting where that demand lies. The companies are looking for developers who can work alongside AI systems, critically evaluate AI-generated output, and adapt continuously as new tools emerge. ![NVIDIA offices in Yokneam (right), Palo Alto offices in Santa Clara, California](https://pic1.calcalist.co.il/picserver3/crop_images/2026/07/30/S1Qgctdrfe/S1Qgctdrfe_0_0_1500_971_0_x-large.jpg) ## Palo Alto Networks: Adaptability is Key "The problems we need to solve haven't disappeared, in fact, AI has created entirely new ones," says Galia Eckstein, Head of People at Palo Alto Networks in Israel. "AI can replace certain standalone software capabilities, forcing companies to rethink their business models and become more efficient. But it is also creating entirely new cyber threats that require new approaches to security, monitoring, threat detection and real-time response." Israel has become one of Palo Alto Networks' largest development hubs, a position strengthened further by its acquisition of CyberArk. "We're in a period of significant growth," Eckstein says. "We're continuing to expand our engineering organization, and today we have more than 200 open positions across multiple disciplines." Around 75% of those roles are in software development, with additional hiring across cyber research, product management and DevOps. "The AI revolution is naturally changing our products," she says. "Like every technology company, we're going through this transformation ourselves. But we still have a tremendous amount to build, and we need outstanding people who can help us develop the next generation of security technologies while making intelligent use of AI." The biggest change, Eckstein says, is not necessarily technical knowledge but **adaptability**. "There are always early adopters, people who immediately embrace new technologies, and there are others who take longer," she says. "Today, that has become part of our hiring process. We want to understand not only what candidates know today, but how quickly they learn." Employees are expected to use both commercial AI tools and internal systems developed by Palo Alto Networks. "We're interested in people who are naturally curious and willing to experiment." Are you looking for qualities that weren't required before the AI revolution? "It's still too early to say there's a single playbook," Eckstein says. "We're all learning as the technology evolves. "What hasn't changed is the need for deep engineering knowledge. Candidates still need to understand architecture, infrastructure and how products are built. But they also need to know how to work effectively with AI systems, how to write good prompts, evaluate AI-generated results and integrate these tools into their workflow. "The emphasis has shifted. Technical depth is still essential, but now we also value people's ability to adapt to a rapidly changing technological environment." ![Galia Eckstein](https://pic1.calcalist.co.il/picserver3/crop_images/2026/07/30/SJmGUFuBMl/SJmGUFuBMl_0_0_1600_901_0_x-large.jpg) Ori Kotler, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Palo Alto Networks, says AI literacy has quickly become a competitive advantage. "Developers who treat AI as a natural part of the way they work already have an advantage," he says. "Understanding AI isn't enough. You need the judgment to review what AI produces, identify mistakes and improve the output. Those critical thinking skills are becoming increasingly important." Beyond hiring engineers, Palo Alto is also looking for what Kotler calls "technology influencers." "We're looking for people who can drive change inside the organization, people with genuine passion for AI, deep technical understanding and the ability to spread knowledge and motivate others." Are there roles you're no longer recruiting for? "There are certainly tasks that AI can now perform almost entirely on its own," Eckstein says. "That allows employees to focus on more strategic and complex work." Quality assurance is one example. "In the past, developers typically handed code over to dedicated QA teams. Today they're increasingly expected to take responsibility for testing their own software using AI-assisted tools and automated testing platforms. "That doesn't necessarily eliminate QA, but it changes the role dramatically. QA professionals need broader technical skills, including software development and the ability to work with AI." The transformation, she says, extends far beyond engineering. "Everyone has to keep learning now." "I've worked in human resources for 22 years, and I also have to learn how to build AI agents and rethink how I do my own job. "If you're not learning continuously today, that's a problem." ![Ori Kotler](https://pic1.calcalist.co.il/picserver3/crop_images/2026/07/30/SyQd5tOBzg/SyQd5tOBzg_0_0_1600_901_0_x-large.jpg) ## "We're all under pressure" The pace of change, however, is creating anxiety alongside excitement. "It's our responsibility as employers to provide the tools and the environment that allow people to learn," Eckstein says. "But that's not always easy. Everyone is busy delivering products while simultaneously trying to master an entirely new set of technologies. "That naturally creates stress." Do you actually see that stress among employees? "We don't see elevated stress levels in our employee surveys," she says. "But we certainly hear very different reactions. "Some people are anxious. Others are incredibly excited." She recalls speaking with a software developer returning from maternity leave after six months away. "I asked her what it was like to come back after everything had changed so quickly. "She told me she was actually excited because writing code had never been her favorite part of the job. What she really enjoys is understanding the product, designing solutions and thinking strategically. "For people like her, AI is fantastic because it automates some of the work they enjoyed least." For others, the transition is more difficult. "If someone's professional identity was built around being exceptionally good at writing code, and AI suddenly changes that equation, it's understandable that they'll experience uncertainty. "Everyone now has to ask themselves a new question: What unique value do I bring? "That's true not just for engineers, but for all professions." AI is also creating entirely new positions inside Palo Alto Networks. Among them are AI-focused data scientists, engineers specializing in AI systems, and employees working in the company's AI Transformation initiative, which develops internal AI tools and trains staff to use them effectively. Despite the industry's focus on experienced AI talent, Palo Alto continues to invest heavily in university graduates. "We've had a graduate hiring program for five years," Eckstein says. "It's important to us to recruit talented people directly from academia, including those who didn't serve in elite military technology units." The company hires between 30 and 60 graduates annually. "This year alone we've recruited more than 40 junior engineers in Tel Aviv." CyberArk's former Idaptive division, now part of Palo Alto Networks, hired another 35 junior developers for its Petah Tikva and Be'er Sheva sites, where recruits begin with an intensive boot camp before joining engineering teams. "In Tel Aviv, graduates join teams immediately as full-time employees," Eckstein says. "We provide training, mentoring and a strong community around them." The approach appears to be paying off. "Most are promoted within their first year, and our retention rate is around 90%. Some of those graduates are already leading engineering teams." ## Nvidia: "AI isn't reducing hiring, it's changing what we hire for" Few companies have benefited more from the artificial intelligence boom than Nvidia. Its Israeli development center, built around the 2020 acquisition of Mellanox, has become one of the company's most important engineering hubs, employing more than 6,000 people across five sites. Despite widespread layoffs across the technology sector, Nvidia Israel is continuing to expand aggressively. "We currently have more than 430 open positions in Israel," says Yael Aviram Rosenfeld, Recruitment Director at Nvidia Israel. "Our development center is based on the acquisition of Mellanox, whose high-speed networking technology became a critical component of modern AI infrastructure. Nvidia didn't just build the GPU that powers AI, it also built the networking technology that allows AI systems to communicate across entire data centers. That's one of the reasons we've reached where we are today." Most of Nvidia's open roles are in engineering. "The majority of our hiring is in hardware and software engineering," she says. "We're recruiting chip designers, architects, networking engineers, cybersecurity specialists, AI researchers and software developers." The company is hiring across all levels, from students and recent graduates to senior engineers and managers. Has the AI revolution changed the types of people you're looking for? "Without question," Aviram Rosenfeld says. "We're seeing entirely new specializations emerge around artificial intelligence." These include AI researchers, engineers integrating AI into development processes, and cybersecurity researchers specializing in AI-related threats. At the same time, AI's rapid growth is increasing demand for engineers who can bridge research and manufacturing. "We're also seeing growing demand for Product Engineering roles, engineers who connect product development with the large-scale manufacturing of advanced chips and systems while ensuring quality and reliability." The expectation, she says, extends beyond AI specialists. "Anyone pursuing a career in engineering today should become deeply familiar with AI technologies. "This field evolves at an extraordinary pace. New capabilities appear constantly, so continuous learning has become essential." Are there roles that are no longer relevant? "There hasn't been a fundamental change in the types of roles we recruit for," Aviram Rosenfeld says. "We continue to expand our activities across many areas. "What has changed is the nature of those roles. The skills required are evolving continuously, particularly as AI becomes integrated into more aspects of engineering work." Rather than replacing employees, AI is becoming another engineering tool. "We provide employees with access to the world's most advanced AI technologies and expect them to use them intelligently, responsibly and effectively. "Ultimately, every engineer remains responsible for the products they build." ![Yael Aviram Rosenfeld](https://pic1.calcalist.co.il/picserver3/crop_images/2026/07/30/S1gmz8YuHfl/S1gmz8YuHfl_0_0_2000_1125_0_x-large.jpg) Training has therefore become a core part of the company's strategy. "We invest heavily in helping employees learn how to use AI effectively through dedicated training programs and learning resources." Like Palo Alto Networks, Nvidia continues to recruit heavily from universities. "Every year, hundreds of employees join us at the beginning of their careers," Aviram Rosenfeld says. "They immediately become part of teams designing the technologies driving today's AI revolution." Many remain at Nvidia after graduation. "A large number of our managers actually began their careers here as students or junior engineers." ## Three pieces of advice for anyone looking for a tech job After years of recruiting engineers, Aviram Rosenfeld believes the rules for succeeding in today's market are changing rapidly. Her first recommendation is straightforward. "Become familiar with the AI technologies available today and understand how they affect your profession." That applies to both technical and non-technical roles. "In every job, employers increasingly expect candidates to know these tools and demonstrate how they use them to improve productivity." Her second recommendation is to prepare more carefully for interviews. "Practice with friends or family members, or even record yourself. "You should be able to explain your experience, achievements and technical skills clearly, concisely and in a way that's relevant to the position." Finally, she emphasizes the importance of professional networks. "It starts with maintaining an up-to-date LinkedIn profile, but it also includes participating in professional communities, WhatsApp groups, conferences and industry events." Equally important, she says, is staying connected with former colleagues and classmates. "A strong professional network is one of the most valuable assets you can build over the course of your career."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>israel</category> <category>career</category> <enclosure url="https://pic1.calcalist.co.il/picserver3/crop_images/2026/07/30/S1Qgctdrfe/S1Qgctdrfe_0_0_1500_971_0_large.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[EU's Tech Talent Crisis: 5 Million Digital Jobs at Risk by 2030]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/eus-tech-talent-crisis-5-million-digital-jobs-at-risk-by-2030</link> <guid>eus-tech-talent-crisis-5-million-digital-jobs-at-risk-by-2030</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:15:20 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The European Union is facing a critical shortage of tech talent, with a new report from Eurofound revealing that the bloc is likely to miss its ambitious target of 20 million ICT specialists by 2030 by a staggering five million workers. This shortfall raises serious questions about the effectiveness of Brussels' strategies to address skills gaps, improve working conditions, and retain top talent. Despite rapid growth in the ICT sector—expanding by 7-8% annually compared to just over 1% in the wider economy—the report highlights a fundamental mismatch: **education and vocational training systems are not producing enough skilled workers** to meet soaring demand. As a result, companies are increasingly relying on labor migration from outside the EU to fill critical roles. Kevin Flynn, policy and communications adviser at Eurocadres, expressed frustration, stating, "The results are not surprising in the slightest." He criticized the Commission's approach, pointing out that **only one in five EU companies provided ICT-specific training for employees in 2023**. This lack of investment in upskilling leaves workers to fend for themselves, a burden Flynn deems unrealistic: "Expecting workers to find the time and money to train themselves is unrealistic." The report also underscores a broader issue of **work-life balance**, with nearly 39.4 million European workers regularly contacted outside normal working hours. This persistent intrusion adds to the challenges of attracting and retaining talent in the tech industry. Without urgent action to boost training, improve conditions, and foster a sustainable digital workforce, the EU risks deepening its dependence on migrant labor and falling behind in the global tech race.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>eu</category> <category>techtalent</category> <category>digitalskills</category> <category>ict</category> <category>workforce</category> <enclosure url="https://static.euobserver.com/2026/07/11-30.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Ukrainian Drone Giant Skyeton Lands in North Carolina, Bringing 162 High-Tech Jobs]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ukrainian-drone-giant-skyeton-lands-in-north-carolina-bringing-162-high-tech-jobs</link> <guid>ukrainian-drone-giant-skyeton-lands-in-north-carolina-bringing-162-high-tech-jobs</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:15:37 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[A Ukrainian drone manufacturer is setting up its first North American headquarters in Cumberland County, North Carolina, promising a wave of defense innovation and high-tech employment. ## What's Happening? **Skyeton**, a leading developer of unmanned aerial systems for commercial, industrial, and military use, will invest **$3.4 million** to transform the former Black & Decker site into a state-of-the-art drone production facility. The project is expected to create **162 high-tech jobs** with average salaries of nearly **$71,000** — well above Cumberland County's current average of about $50,000. ## Why Cumberland County? Local officials highlight the region's proximity to **Fort Bragg** and its focus on workforce training as key factors. "The proximity to Fort Bragg or actually military, the training that we're doing in our community college and university systems — we're setting ourselves up in that space," said Cumberland County Board of Commissioners Chairman Kirk deViere. Rob Patton Jr., executive vice president of the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation, called the project a turning point: "With the loss of Goodyear, it gets us really further on the map with manufacturing and advanced manufacturing." ## What Jobs Are Coming? The facility will focus on **manufacturing drone systems**, requiring machinists, CNC operators, painters, and quality assurance/quality control personnel. "This is truly manufacturing," Patton emphasized. ## Economic Impact Over the next decade, the investment could generate **more than $68 million in economic activity** and add new tax revenue. State and local leaders, including Gov. Josh Stein, praised the announcement as evidence of North Carolina's ability to attract advanced manufacturing investment. ## What's Next? Hiring and facility transformation are expected to begin soon.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>dronemanufacturing</category> <category>high-techjobs</category> <category>northcarolina</category> <category>defenseinnovation</category> <category>economicdevelopment</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/19598076_072926-wtvd-drone-fay-clean-530p-img.jpg?w=1600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Quit My Job to Keep My Family Together: How a Returner Program Made My 6-Year Career Break Easier]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/quit-my-job-to-keep-my-family-together-how-a-returner-program-made-my-6-year-career-break-easier</link> <guid>quit-my-job-to-keep-my-family-together-how-a-returner-program-made-my-6-year-career-break-easier</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:15:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ramya Ramesh, 39, who lives in New Jersey. The following has been edited for length and clarity. In 2018, I was faced with a big decision: quit my job and **move to Canada** with my husband for a year, or stay in the US alone with our 4-year-old daughter. I had spent practically my whole career working in the semiconductor industry, first at IBM, and then at GlobalFoundries. When my husband was offered a work assignment in Canada, **I quit to keep our family together**. We expected the assignment to keep us in Canada for a year, but factors including COVID and getting pregnant meant we weren't ready to move back to the US until 2023, 4½ years after we first moved. When I looked for work again after **six years away**, I ruled out the semiconductor industry because I feared the environment had changed too much. Then, a **re-entry program at my previous company** helped me ease back into the workforce. ## Language Barriers and Childcare Needs Stopped Me from Working in Canada When we arrived in Montreal, I knew French was the primary language, but I underestimated how important fluency was for life and work. I **struggled to communicate** even at my daughter's daycare and the doctor's office. I looked into semiconductor jobs, but adverts required French proficiency. I took French classes for over a year, but the pandemic hit in 2020, and I became pregnant with our second child. It didn't feel like a good time to look for a job. ## I Was Worried About Finding Work, But My Niche Skills Gave Me an Advantage I knew my career gap was getting longer, and I worried if I'd ever find a job. I explored event management and substitute teaching, but nothing clicked. In August 2024, former colleagues at GlobalFoundries informed me the company was hiring for a role in my old department. They said people remembered me, which encouraged me to apply. During the technical interview, my break didn't seem like a big deal. My answers demonstrated that I felt confident about **asking for support as a returnee**. My prior experience gave me an advantage because my area of expertise is very niche—it's more like **plug-and-play** for someone who's done this before. ## My Company's Returner Program Showed Me You Can Get Back to Work with Support In October 2024, I rejoined GlobalFoundries. The first two weeks were overwhelming, but the HR department really helped. The company's **re-entry program** offered structured support, including basic training and **assigned mentors**. When I was confused by abbreviations, my mentor connected me with another returner who shared a list. For the first month or two, HR checked in weekly to ask how they could help. The support I received showed me that returning to your career after a long gap is possible. ## My Career Break Changed My Approach to Work Living in a different country with a different language during the pandemic forced me to be proactive about seeking solutions. I apply this to my work today. If I hit a hurdle, I get perspective from multiple people and resolve the issue. Before the break, I might have only reached out to one person, but I'm **more confident now**. I think I'm more effective at technical problems and more visible inside the organization than before. I don't have any regrets about taking time away from work to enjoy time with my children. I'd absolutely recommend a career break to others who can financially support themselves. Nowadays, there are many programs at companies that accept returners, and there are ways to get back into work.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>careerbreak</category> <category>returnerprogram</category> <category>semiconductor</category> <category>womenintech</category> <category>work-lifebalance</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a60e22b54f98752617783c4?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a60e22b54f98752617783c4"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump's Trade War Promised Factory Jobs: What Actually Happened?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/trumps-trade-war-promised-factory-jobs-what-actually-happened</link> <guid>trumps-trade-war-promised-factory-jobs-what-actually-happened</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:15:24 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[President Trump's aggressive trade policies were supposed to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., but the reality is more nuanced. Since his second term began, the economy has **lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs**—a 0.6% decline, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ## The Tariff Effect Economist Laura Veldkamp at Columbia Business School notes that tariffs have made it more profitable for American manufacturers to produce domestically, boosting **manufacturing output by 1.1%** over the past year. However, this hasn't translated into jobs because factories are increasingly automated. ## Automation Over Employment Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, explains: "Manufacturing activity is very mechanized, automated. So even if you see a pickup in output, it doesn't translate into jobs, because these factories just don't employ a lot of people." This trend has been ongoing since the 1980s. ## Auto Industry Struggles The U.S. auto industry, a key focus of Trump's policies, has seen employment drop **more than 2.5%** since January 2025. Weak demand is a major factor, with average car prices hovering near **$50,000**, pricing out many consumers. ## Glimmers of Hope Some automakers are planning to onshore production, which could create jobs. David Whiston, a U.S. autos analyst at Morningstar, points to recent announcements by **GM in Kansas and Tennessee**, and **Toyota in Texas**. While tariffs may boost output, the jobs of the past are unlikely to return at scale due to automation and high costs.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>manufacturing</category> <category>tradepolicy</category> <category>automation</category> <category>autoindustry</category> <category>jobs</category> <enclosure url="https://img.apmcdn.org/8d4ca934384655709b922ca3e9b6d7b6e22546bb/widescreen/9f5d97-20260728-trump-speaks-at-a-rally-two-signs-behind-him-say-general-motors-proving-grounds-and-american-cars-2000.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[West Coast Tech Job Crisis: AI Reshapes Hiring, Unemployment Soars]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/west-coast-tech-job-crisis-ai-reshapes-hiring-unemployment-soars</link> <guid>west-coast-tech-job-crisis-ai-reshapes-hiring-unemployment-soars</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Jul 2026 19:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[California, Oregon, and Washington now have some of the **highest unemployment rates** in the nation, tied at **5.2%** in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Only Washington D.C. is higher at 6%. The culprit? **AI is reshaping the West Coast's dominant tech industry**, sharply slowing hiring for roles like software developers, computer engineers, and data analysts. Economists point to structural changes as companies increasingly use AI to boost productivity, reducing the need for traditional tech roles. Indeed data confirms a significant slowdown in tech hiring across the region. For job seekers, this has upended the long-held assumption that the West Coast is a tech job haven. Workers now face tough choices: **pivot to another field, wait for the market to recover, or relocate** for better opportunities. ### Key Takeaways - **AI-driven productivity** is reducing demand for human tech workers. - The West Coast's tech-heavy economy is particularly vulnerable. - Job seekers must adapt or consider leaving the region.

The layoffs are part of a broader trend as companies **reallocate resources toward AI infrastructure** and automation, leaving many tech professionals in uncertainty. ### What's Driving the Cuts? The primary factor is a **massive shift in spending from traditional tech roles to AI-focused projects**. Companies are prioritizing investments in machine learning, data centers, and AI-powered tools, often at the expense of roles in software development, IT support, and operations. This restructuring is not limited to any single sector; giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have all announced significant workforce reductions. ### Impact on the Job Market While the layoffs are alarming, they also signal a **growing demand for AI specialists**. Roles in machine learning engineering, data science, and AI ethics are seeing increased hiring. However, for those in non-AI roles, the market is becoming more competitive. The report suggests that **upskilling in AI-related fields** is crucial for career resilience. ### Regional and Industry Variations California's Silicon Valley remains the epicenter of layoffs, but the trend is spreading to tech hubs in Texas, New York, and Washington. **Cloud computing and cybersecurity** are also experiencing shifts, with companies automating routine tasks and focusing on advanced threat detection. ### What Should Tech Professionals Do? - **Upskill in AI and machine learning** to stay relevant. - **Network actively** and explore opportunities in emerging tech sectors. - **Consider remote roles** to expand job options beyond local markets. The tech industry is in a **transformative phase**, and while job cuts are painful, they also create new opportunities for those willing to adapt.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>aiinfrastructure</category> <category>jobcuts</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>upskilling</category> <enclosure url="https://pressinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-Jobs.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
