How much do software engineering AI jobs pay?
How many software engineering AI jobs are remote?
3,618 of 7,783 live software engineering AI jobs are remote, a 46.5% share. Across every category, 13,225 of 26,929 live jobs are remote (49.1%), so software engineering runs below the site average. Remote status is read from the posting's own location field, never inferred from the company. Measured September 2026.
Are there entry-level software engineering AI jobs?
150 of 7,783 live software engineering AI jobs are tagged intern or junior, and 4,724 are rated Level 1, where AI is a tool rather than the job itself. Seniority is read from the title and the posting text; 7,487 of 26,929 postings across the site do not state it, so these counts are floors. Measured September 2026.
