The Big Picture

We're tracking 1,766 open AI/ML roles today. The market is healthy and broad — spanning fintech credit risk, MLOps, generative AI engineering, applied research, and even academic posts. Hiring is concentrated in a handful of geographies, with one company alone accounting for nearly a tenth of all listings.

Where the Jobs Are

Europe dominates with 909 roles (51%), more than the rest of the world combined. The US follows at 543 (31%), and India holds a solid 300 (17%). Everything else is a rounding error: 9 roles across the rest of the world and just 5 in the UAE. If you're job-hunting, Europe and North America are where the volume lives, with India a strong third for engineering and automation roles.

Who's Hiring

Bespoke Labs leads aggressively with 147 openings — many for Machine Learning Engineers in the US. Behind it, hiring is spread across finance, consulting, and education:

  • Capital One (49) and Citi/Citigroup — fintech and Gen AI engineering
  • IU Internationale Hochschule (35 + 17) — heavy on dual-study AI degree programs in Germany
  • Tata Consultancy Services (26) and Booz Allen Hamilton (17) — enterprise and government consulting
  • SonderMind (21), Lieferando (20), Reply Deutschland (18), Mindrift (17), Lockheed Martin (15)

The mix tells a story: defense contractors, banks, and recruiters (Jobgether, 19) are all competing for the same AI talent.

Common Role Types

Four patterns repeat across the listings:

  1. ML / MLOps engineers — the backbone, from Bespoke Labs to G-Research and Deltares.
  2. Generative AI specialists — strategists, full-stack Gen AI engineers, and VP-level staff roles at Citi and AWS.
  3. Data scientists — especially in credit risk and fintech (Humaura, Capital One).
  4. Adjacent and entry paths — freelance data annotators (Toloka), AI trainers, dual-study programs, PhD candidates, and even licensed therapists at SonderMind powering AI-assisted care.

Takeaway

The market rewards engineers who can ship generative AI in production, but there's real room at the edges — annotation, training, research, and academia. Europe is the center of gravity right now.
