I made the move form hardware. Mind you I had 0 coding for 5 years as a hardware engineer. It took me exactly 2 years to make the move. I did 3 online certifications, an “internship” within my company for 3 months as work experience and then finally leetcode and got the job

Your best bet is a smaller startup company for sure. While it's possible to upskill/change roles within a larger company, it's a lot more difficult and they seem to be less active about it. In the meantime, I would also suggest trying to get software engineering projects under your belt as well so start building!

Ed Tech companies strongly favor what you mentioned. A company like 2U which edX is a part of.
