A snapshot of 3,728 open AI/ML roles tracked as of July 10, 2026. The market is active but heavily concentrated by geography and skewed toward engineering delivery over research.

Where the Jobs Are

Europe dominates with 1,857 roles (~50%), followed by the US at 1,057 (~28%) and India at 774 (~21%). Everything else is a rounding error: the rest of world holds just 31 postings and the UAE only 9. If you're job-hunting, Europe is where the volume is — and the German-language postings (many marked m/w/d) confirm the DACH region is a major driver, from IU Internationale Hochschule to Lieferando and Reply Deutschland.

Who's Hiring

Bespoke Labs leads by a wide margin with 183 openings, repeatedly posting Machine Learning Engineer roles in the US. Capital One (136) is the largest enterprise hirer, showing banking's continued AI push — echoed by Barclays and Crédit Mutuel Arkéa. Consultancies and staffing firms round out the top tier: Reply Deutschland (48), Jobgether (46), EnthuZiastic (46), Deloitte (36), Booz Allen Hamilton (36), and Tata Consultancy Services (34). Notably, IU Internationale Hochschule (35) is hiring for degree programs, not just jobs.

The Roles

Three patterns stand out:

  • ML/GenAI Engineers are the core demand — Machine Learning Engineer, Generative AI Engineer, and Senior AI Engineer (Gen AI & RAG) appear constantly.
  • Data Scientists remain steady, from Managing Data Scientist at Barclays to senior IC roles across the US and Europe.
  • AI-adjacent and hybrid titles are rising: AI Transformation Manager, Tech Lead .NET & AI, AI Infrastructure/Deployment Engineer, and even a tax advisor "KI-Gestalter" role — signaling AI bleeding into non-traditional functions.

RAG, generative AI, and infrastructure/deployment skills are the clearest throughlines. Full-stack and distributed-systems engineers with AI exposure are also in demand, especially across India-based IT services (Virtusa, Zensar, TCS).

Bottom Line

Europe + engineering-heavy GenAI roles define today's landscape, with finance and consulting as steady enterprise buyers. Browse the full set of 3,728 openings in the Jobs section.
