By the Numbers
496 AI and ML roles are live today across tracked job boards. Europe accounts for the lion's share at 303 openings (61%), followed by the US at 99 (20%) and India at 91 (18%). Rest of world is minimal at 3 roles.
Who's Hiring Most
IU Internationale Hochschule leads with 50 postings combined across two entity names — nearly all dual-study (Duales Studium) academic programs in Germany, so these skew toward education/training roles rather than industry engineering. Strip those out and the practical hiring picture is led by Mindrift (15, mostly freelance ML work), kadence and Harrison Clarke (11 each), CT Labs (11), and 10x Team (9, primarily AI trainer/automation contractor roles). Enterprise names in the mix: TCS, Capital One, and Amazon each at 7, plus Toloka Annotators at 6 for annotation and data labeling work.
Europe: The Hotbed
Europe's 303 roles span the full seniority ladder — from junior AI developers (Newto Training) and internships (STIHL embedded ML) to senior ML engineers at G-Research and FactoryPal, and director-level roles like JPMorganChase's Data & AI Business Manager in London. Freelance and contract work is prominent, with Mindrift and 10x Team posting heavily for part-time and flexible engagements.
US: Defense, Finance, and Consulting
US postings skew toward specialized or high-clearance roles: Lockheed Martin (AI/ML Engineer), Capital One and Amazon (likely MLOps and applied science), and CT Labs (AI Consultant). Motion Recruitment is filling a niche Machine Learning Security Engineer slot — a role type growing alongside AI red-teaming demand.
India: Applied Engineering Focus
India's 91 roles lean toward applied ML and data engineering — HCLTech forecasting analysts, Accenture Python/SQL/ML data engineers, and Recro/Yotta AI engineering positions. Strong services-sector demand with global delivery mandates.
Common Role Types
Across all regions, the highest-frequency titles are Machine Learning Engineer, AI/ML Engineer, and Artificial Intelligence Engineer — often used interchangeably. Business-facing titles (AI Business Lead, Data & AI Business Manager) are appearing more frequently, signaling that companies want people who can sell and scope AI projects, not just build them.
Bottom Line
Europe is the most active market right now, particularly Germany and the UK. Freelance and contract supply remains strong through platforms like Mindrift and 10x Team. If you're targeting full-time roles, financial services (JPMorgan, Capital One) and defense (Lockheed) are steady; if you want volume, European engineering shops are posting aggressively.
