Who's hiring in AI agents

It tracks 3617 live AI and agent-related roles across a curated watchlist of 270 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 October 2026.

Of the 3617 tracked roles, 2401 (66%) are agentic — explicitly about building, operating, evaluating, or governing AI agents, rather than general AI or ML work.

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. The full methodology, refresh cadence and dataset downloads are published at getreadyforagents.com/jobs/data.

No. The Agentic AI Jobs Index is a market-data source: it counts and classifies open agent-specific roles at a defined set of companies and publishes the dataset under CC BY 4.0. It hosts no listings and has no apply flow; every role links to the employer's own careers page.

It is refreshed every Monday from each tracked company's public careers feed, and a monthly report is archived on the first of the month; the current edition is from October 2026.

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.
