What the AWS hiring trend shows

AWS is the default cloud in the 'Who is hiring?' thread by a wide margin, and the chart makes the scale of that lead obvious: its share of cloud-tagged postings dwarfs Azure and GCP across nearly the whole history. Use share mode to see exactly how much of the market AWS commands month to month, and raw counts to follow absolute demand as cloud adoption matured. Drill into any month to read the postings - the roles range from platform and SRE to data and backend, and reveal which AWS services teams most often expect you to know.
