Demand for ML Engineer roles

New ML Engineer postings at the employers we follow are up 10% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.

Weekly new ML Engineer postings at the same employers, from the week of August 17 to the week of November 2. The fewest in a week was 612, the most 1,081, and the latest week had 1,068.

Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.

Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.

About the role

We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.

Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.

A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.
