AI Jobs Paying $75,000+ (2026)

A $75,000 floor sounds modest for AI work, and the numbers bear that out: the median stated midpoint across this hub is about $203,500 a year, because almost every listing that publishes pay publishes something well above the threshold. What the hub really gives you is the set of roughly 1,800 live listings, as of September 2026, that state a USD figure at all. Ninety-seven percent of them show a range, against about 15 percent for the board as a whole.

OpenAI is the most frequent employer with about 35 priced listings, then Snowflake with 29, and CoreWeave, Telus Digital, xAI, Roku and Tenstorrent with about 20 each. Roughly 190 listings were posted in the past week. The US names about 1,000 of the listings and Canada about 70; the UK, France and Germany contribute only a handful, which reflects where employers state pay in USD.

Mid level roles are the largest band at about 590, senior at about 420, staff or principal at about 350 and lead or manager at about 330. Machine learning engineer leads the categories at about 470, then data engineer at about 195, robotics at about 90 and MLOps at about 85. Half the listings are tagged remote. Recent titles run from AI product support specialist and AI compiler engineer to engineering manager for ML and data science, so the hub spans support and applied roles as well as core engineering.

Use this page as the starting point whenever pay transparency matters to you, then raise the bar with the $100K, $150K, $200K, $250K and $300K hubs, which are the same data with higher floors. The minimum salary filter on the jobs page does the same job at any threshold. Pair it with the level filter, because a $75,000 floor admits everything from product support roles to staff and principal titles.
