Senior AI Engineering Jobs

Senior AI engineering jobs from AI labs, startups and established tech companies, across LLM, AI agent, machine learning, research and infrastructure roles.

Senior roles take in senior, staff and principal positions: the people who own a system end to end, set technical direction and raise the bar for the team. Expect postings to ask for years of shipping software, and for AI work in production rather than only prototypes.

NVIDIA, JPMorganChase and Capital One have the most open roles here right now. AI Engineer roles are the largest group, at 30%. Of these, 12% can be done remotely and 78 say the company sponsors visas. The skills these postings ask for most are Python, AI Agents, AWS and PyTorch.
