AI Agent Engineer Jobs (2026)

Agentic is the word to search for. Most listings on this hub carry a software engineering title with agentic AI attached: Software Engineer, Agentic AI; Software Engineer, Embedded Agentic AI; Senior Software Engineer in Test for agentic AI; even a ServiceNow Solution Architect for agentic AI. The role, as employers describe it, is building systems where a model plans, calls tools and completes multi-step tasks with limited supervision, then making those systems testable and reliable.

As of September 2026 the hub holds 410 live listings from the last 60 days, with 44 posted in the past week. Cresta is the most frequent poster with 15 open roles, followed by Veeva Systems with eight, Nebius, Observe AI and OKX with seven each, and Roku and Highmetric with six. Contact center software, life sciences platforms, GPU cloud, a crypto exchange and streaming: agent work is spreading well beyond the model labs.

Where categories are tagged, 74 listings are machine learning engineer roles, 18 research scientist, 11 NLP and LLM engineer and 11 MLOps; a large share sit in general software engineering. Seniority is spread: 136 mid level, 121 senior, 76 lead or architect and 54 staff. Sixty percent are remote. By country, the US has 111 listings, India 37, Canada 29, the UK 21 and Germany 15.

Seventeen percent of the listings state a US dollar salary, and the median midpoint among them is about $200,000 a year. For searching, combine this hub with the keyword search for agentic, tool use, orchestration or the name of a framework you know, because titles vary a lot. /remote-ai-agent-engineer-jobs is the remote subset, /llm-jobs and /rag-engineer-jobs overlap on the retrieval and model side, and /prompt-engineer-jobs catches the lighter weight version of this work.
