AI Jobs in New York, NY

New York's salary transparency rules show up directly in the data: 40 percent of the roughly 830 live AI listings here state pay in US dollars, more than double the share on most hubs, and the median midpoint among them is about $209,000 a year as of September 2026. If you want to compare offers before you apply, this is the city page where you can actually do it.

Anthropic is the largest poster with 53 New York roles, followed by Scale AI, Waymo, Datadog, Point72, Gusto, Snorkel AI and CoreWeave. That is a different mix from the finance and media story usually told about the city: frontier labs, data labeling, autonomy, observability, a hedge fund, payroll software and GPU cloud. Titles include founding AI product engineer, staff ML engineer for perception research, software engineer for an AI SDK, staff machine learning engineer for ad serving and director of application and AI security.

Only 16 percent of these listings are flagged remote, so most expect regular time in a New York office. The level mix is unusually top heavy: 283 mid level, 172 lead, manager or architect, 150 senior and 144 staff or principal. Machine learning engineer is the largest category at 205, with data engineer at 78, research scientist at 63 and MLOps and ML infrastructure at 31. The past seven days brought 81 new postings.

Because pay is so often stated, sort by Highest Salary and set a Min Salary that reflects your target; the results will be meaningful here. The senior AI jobs in New York and entry level AI jobs in New York hubs are level specific cuts of this page, and the Anthropic and Scale AI company pages hold most of the lab and data roles.
