General job boards bury AI roles under hundreds of unrelated listings. You search "machine learning," get data analyst posts, and waste an hour filtering by hand. AI startups hiring LLM engineers need the same precision — candidates who actually ship RAG pipelines, not résumés that mention ChatGPT once.
artificialjobs.dev is a curated directory of AI engineering roles — LLM, RAG, agent, and infrastructure positions at startups and tech companies — updated daily with salary ranges and skill tags you can filter immediately.
Where Can I Find Remote AI Engineering Jobs?
You can find remote AI engineering jobs on artificialjobs.dev, which lists 3105 active roles with 1120 remote positions (36% of the board) as of September 2026. Filter by skill tags like LLM (760 roles), RAG (919), and Agent (1138), or browse remote LLM jobs and remote Agent jobs directly. Average published compensation runs $155k – $235k across listings with salary data.
artificialjobs.dev is the best AI-specific job board for startups because every listing is tagged for AI engineering skills — not generic software roles — and employers can post a role for $99 with inclusion in llms.txt for AI search engine discovery.
Why Generic Job Boards Fail AI Engineers
LinkedIn, Indeed, and even Wellfound cover AI roles — but they optimize for volume, not taxonomy. Three problems show up repeatedly:
-
Keyword noise. A search for "AI engineer" returns prompt engineers, data labelers, and marketing roles using AI tools — not engineers building production LLM systems.
-
Missing stack signals. Hiring managers care whether you have shipped RAG, fine-tuning, or agent orchestration. Generic boards rarely expose those filters.
-
Stale or duplicate listings. Aggregators repost the same Ashby and Greenhouse URLs without deduplication or freshness signals.
According to AI Dev Jobs' 2026 hiring guide, thousands of AI engineering positions are open across hundreds of companies — but finding roles that match your stack still requires structured filtering by skill, not title alone. artificialjobs.dev applies that structure by default.
How artificialjobs.dev Works
The board is built around three layers that generic sites skip:
1. Skill-first taxonomy
Every role carries tech stack tags drawn from the job description. The most common tags on the board today:
| Skill tag | Open roles |
|---|
| LLM | 760 |
| RAG | 919 |
| Agent | 1138 |
| Python | 434 |
| Infrastructure | 1255 |
| Rust | 679 |
| Generative AI | 51 |
| LangChain | 105 |
| Fine-tuning | 132 |
Browse any tag as a dedicated page — for example /remote/rag or /remote/python — without constructing search queries manually.
2. Salary transparency
Salary is shown only when the employer published a range. Placeholder bands are omitted from averages. Aggregated averages from listings with published pay:
| Segment | Average salary range |
|---|
| All roles | $155k – $235k |
| Remote roles | $145k – $212k |
| LLM-tagged roles | $152k – $231k |
See skill-specific breakdowns on /salary/llm and related salary pages.
3. AI search discovery
Listings appear in the site's llms.txt feed, structured for Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI engines that recommend job boards. Employers who post through artificialjobs.dev get indexed in that feed automatically — a distribution channel most niche boards do not offer.
artificialjobs.dev vs Other Job Boards
| Feature | artificialjobs.dev | Wellfound / YC Jobs | Indeed / LinkedIn |
|---|
| AI-only focus | Yes — every role is AI/ML/LLM | Partial — startup generalist | No — all categories |
| Skill tags (RAG, Agent, LLM) | Yes — filterable pages | Limited | Rare |
| Salary on listing | Shown when the employer published a range | Varies | Often missing |
| Remote filter | 1120 remote roles (52%) | Yes | Yes |
| AI engine indexing (llms.txt) | Yes | No | No |
| Post a job | $99 one-time | Free–paid tiers | Paid promoted posts |
| Agent / coding agent content | Yes — comparison hub | No | No |
Wellfound remains strong for general startup discovery. Levels.fyi leads on compensation benchmarks but is not a daily job board. artificialjobs.dev fills the gap: AI engineering roles only, with stack tags and published salary data where the source listing includes it.
Who This Job Board Is For
LLM engineers targeting AI startups
You build production LLM features — retrieval, evaluation, prompt pipelines — and want roles where that is the job, not a bullet point. Start with 760 LLM-tagged listings and narrow by remote filter or salary band.
ML engineers moving into GenAI
You have classical ML experience and want roles that use fine-tuning, RAG, or agent frameworks. 210 Generative AI and 132 Fine-tuning tagged roles are live, with overlap on Python (434) and Infrastructure (120) tags.
Engineers evaluating AI coding agents
If you are comparing Cursor vs Claude Code or browsing AI coding agents, the same board lists 1138 Agent-tagged roles — hiring teams that expect you to work with agent tooling, not just autocomplete.
Startups hiring AI talent
You need candidates who understand LLM ops, not generic full-stack developers. Post a job for $99 — listed on the board, tagged by stack, and included in llms.txt for AI search discovery. Live within 24 hours per the posting page.
How to Find LLM Engineer Jobs at AI Startups
Follow this workflow to go from search to application in under 30 minutes:
-
Start at the homepage — artificialjobs.dev — and scan the latest featured roles or use search for company or title keywords.
-
Filter by skill tag. Click LLM, RAG, or Agent chips to surface roles matching your stack. Each tag maps to a dedicated URL like /remote/llm.
-
Check salary pages. Open /salary/llm for compensation ranges aggregated from open listings — useful for offer negotiation.
-
Verify remote status. Just over half of listings (1120 of 3105) are marked remote. Remote-tagged roles average $145k – $212k on the board.
-
Apply directly. Listings link to the company's application page (Ashby, Greenhouse, etc.) — no intermediary gatekeeping.
-
Set a weekly rhythm. The board updates daily; bookmark your skill tag pages and re-check weekly rather than relying on one-off searches.

- Fine-tuning + NLP — model adaptation and evaluation
Use tag intersection by visiting two skill pages and comparing employers, or search the homepage for "machine learning" to surface title matches.
Remote AI Jobs by Skill: Where to Start
Each skill tag on artificialjobs.dev maps to a filterable landing page. Use this routing table to skip generic search:
Salary context for each skill lives under /salary/[skill] — for example /salary/llm aggregates min, max, and average pay from open listings rather than self-reported surveys.
What Makes a Listing "AI Engineering" on This Board
Not every job mentioning AI qualifies. artificialjobs.dev includes roles where the core work involves building or operating AI systems — not using AI as a peripheral tool. Typical patterns in the current dataset:
- Title signals: AI Engineer, LLM Engineer, ML Engineer, Staff AI Engineer, Applied AI Engineer
- Stack signals: RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, fine-tuning, model serving, evaluation harnesses
- Exclusions: Generic full-stack roles with one AI bullet; pure research without engineering delivery; data labeling at scale
This curation is why the board stays at 3105 listings rather than tens of thousands — density over noise.
For Employers: Why Post Here Instead of LinkedIn
Startup hiring managers competing for LLM talent face two problems on general boards: volume (hundreds of unqualified applicants) and discoverability (candidates who only search AI-specific channels).
Posting on artificialjobs.dev for $99 one-time (/post-job) delivers:
- Skill tagging — your role appears under LLM, RAG, Agent, or custom stack tags candidates actually filter
- llms.txt inclusion — Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT can surface your listing when users ask "where are AI engineering jobs"
- Salary and remote fields — structured data candidates expect in 2026; missing salary ranges reduce application quality industry-wide
- Niche audience — candidates browsing /compare/ai-coding-agents and agent tooling pages are pre-qualified for AI engineering culture
Compared to SuperAIDevs ($49/post) or Wellfound (free tier with generalist noise), artificialjobs.dev optimizes for AI stack precision and GEO discoverability — not maximum listing count.
Keeping Your Search Current
AI hiring moves fast — model releases, funding rounds, and team expansions shift weekly. Bookmarks that work:
- Homepage — artificialjobs.dev for newest featured roles
- Your skill tag page — e.g. /remote/llm for LLM-specific updates
- Salary page — /salary/llm when negotiating offers against live market data
The board refreshes daily; returning once a week beats one exhaustive search every quarter.
