A broad category, not one kind of job
This family collects titles without a narrower speciality: 49.4% of this edition's core AI postings. It mixes many different jobs, and the map below is their combined share, so it should not be read as one uniform role.
If you already have a direction, these roles have a more specific skill map:
This role's skill map
Every share divides by this role's 1,741 postings in the September 11, 2026 edition. The 20 technology skills they mention most, grouped into three lenses; a lens is a reading aid and does not mean its skills matter equally.
Across 1,741 AI Engineer postings: in Foundations and problem-solving, Python is mentioned most (60.7%); in Production and delivery, Git is mentioned most (30.8%); in Framework, LLM and domain signals, LLM is mentioned most (39.9%).
None of its top 20 skills is mentioned at twice its share of all core AI postings or more.
A share is a signal of what employers write into postings. It does not mean a course is required to do the job, and it says nothing about hiring odds or pay.
How the readings are made: "more concentrated than overall" means that in a role family with a page of its own, at least 10 postings mention the skill and its share is at least 2 times its share of all core AI postings; "common" means at least 20% of a role's postings mention it. They describe the postings open in this edition, not a trend.
