New role concepts only one company is naming so far — matched on the role itself, so the same job in a new location or grade isn't counted as new.

How the index is built

Two cohorts, classified the same way on the full job description: frontier (Forbes AI 50 + CB Insights AI 100) and a curated panel of Fortune 500 enterprises. A role counts as agentic only on a hard signal — a named framework, a protocol like MCP, or a multi-agent architecture — or two distinct softer signals; a generic "agentic AI" mention is not enough. We link out to every careers page and host no listings. Dataset CC BY 4.0 — JSON · CSV · full company tracker · the index in depth.

Common questions

Agentic AI jobs — frequently asked questions

What is the Agentic AI Jobs index?

It tracks 3027 live AI and agent-related roles across a curated watchlist of 334 companies, sorted into categories from agent engineering to AI governance, so you can see where agent hiring is actually happening. The current snapshot is from June 2026.

How many of these roles are actually about AI agents?

Of the 3027 tracked roles, 1914 (63%) are agentic — explicitly about building, operating, evaluating, or governing AI agents, rather than general AI or ML work.

Where does the jobs data come from?

Postings are fetched directly from company career sites and applicant-tracking systems across the watchlist, then categorised — not scraped from third-party job boards. Each role links back to the original posting.

How often is the jobs index updated?

It is a weekly snapshot of agent-related hiring; the current edition is from June 2026.

What counts as an agentic AI job?

Roles focused on building, deploying, evaluating, securing, or governing autonomous AI agents — agent engineering, agent ops and infrastructure, evals and quality, AI governance and risk, and AI security — as distinct from general data-science or ML positions.

Your competitors' job posts place them on the maturity curve. The assessment places you — and names the roles to hire next.
