Let’s take the industry out of the equation: if you asked someone who studies political demographics what the likely politics of someone who is under-40, urban-dwelling with a STEM education, who generally work with (and/or for) immigrants... they wouldn’t hesitate to say left-leaning.

The industry’s youth and location alone are going to skew political demographics leftward no matter what.

And purely anecdotal... but I’ve noticed younger right wingers to be less enthralled by capitalism and market economics.
