Silicon Valley’s newest must-have skill: Vibe coding

Vibe coding is now an official job requirement at major tech firms, with some roles demanding 50% of your code be AI-generated.

Vibe coding, defined as the application of artificial intelligence to generate code, has emerged as a pronounced trend within Silicon Valley, directly influencing technology job market requirements, reports Business Insider. This practice is increasingly cited in professional requisitions, with companies such as Visa, Reddit, and DoorDash seeking candidates possessing expertise in AI code generation to accelerate product development cycles.

Job listings from these and other organizations explicitly reference the necessity of vibe coding proficiency or familiarity with specific AI code generators, including Cursor and Bolt. Domu Technology, a startup, has designated vibe coding as a “non-negotiable” skill, stipulating that new hires must generate at least 50% of their code through AI. This is key for corporate objective to enhance the pace of product creation, a metric often termed “velocity” within the technology sector.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has publicly endorsed the utility of vibe coding, detailing a “delightful” experience in generating a webpage using the method. Amazon is also reportedly in discussions regarding the potential deployment of Cursor.

Despite its growing adoption, vibe coding’s current utility primarily revolves around optimizing basic coding tasks. It has not yet demonstrated the capacity to displace senior engineers or manage complex, core software development responsibilities.

  • Visa recently posted three generative AI engineer positions for its Austin office, listing familiarity with vibe coding tools as “essential.”
  • Reddit is actively seeking an engineer capable of establishing and maintaining integrations with AI coding tools, including Cursor and Bolt, with an additional requirement to engage directly with the broader vibe-coding community to solicit feedback and “drive adoption.”
  • DoorDash also seeks an engineer with familiarity in these tools, and cybersecurity firm Snyk is recruiting for a position demanding “deep expertise” in vibe coding.
  • Domu Technology’s job posting represents a stringent example, specifying that a candidate’s existing code generation should be at least 50% AI-driven.

A consistent motivation across these hiring initiatives is the pursuit of increased operational speed. Companies aim to leverage vibe coding knowledge to expedite product delivery.

  • Tubi, a streaming service, seeks an engineer to integrate AI-powered coding tools into daily workflows to “boost velocity.”
  • Udacity intends to “accelerate” product development by onboarding an individual proficient in Cursor and Anthropic’s Claude Code.

Alex Balazs, CTO of Intuit, has authorized the use of six to seven distinct AI coding tools within the company, including Cursor, Windsurf, and Microsoft Copilot. Balazs reported that engineers utilizing these tools can achieve up to a 40% increase in coding speed. While Intuit does not explicitly target vibe coders in its recruitment, the company values candidates who demonstrate an aptitude for “leveraging AI” to resolve technical challenges.

And there you have it: the undeniable truth that vibe coding isn’t just a fleeting trend. The future of software engineering is here, and it’s increasingly written by machines, guided by human ingenuity.
