What level of AI work do these roles involve?

Level sorts every job into one of four levels. The method section links the definitions. The split for the 151 roles is uneven.

Little AI covers 89 roles, which is 59% of the set.

Uses AI covers 5 roles, or 3%. Works on AI covers 42 roles, or 28%. Builds AI covers 15 roles, or 10%.

The 12 roles with the phrase in the title lean higher. Seven are Works on AI. Two are Builds AI, one is Uses AI and two are Little AI.

Seven of the 12 titled roles sit at Works on AI, so that is the level to filter on first. The two Builds AI titles are the most hands-on of the group.

What happened with United?

On Wednesday, November 11, CBS News published a report on United Airlines banning AI agents from booking flights. United cited security risks and possible conflicts with federal rules.

According to CBS, the federal rule at issue covers check-in. Travelers must confirm in person that their bags hold no prohibited items.

United argues that sharing account credentials with personal AI assistants can expose sensitive information. It also warns that these tools can trigger unintended purchases, account changes or use of MileagePlus miles.

The airline plans to restrict access on its own platforms and through travel agencies and aggregators. CBS quotes the analyst Henry Harteveldt of Atmosphere Research Group on how that plays out for travelers.

Kayak, Hopper and Google Flights are named as places where United fares can still be booked. Southwest took a different approach and made its flight inventory viewable to ChatGPT users who reach its website through the app.

What should a candidate do after the United ban?

Start with the title. A title that carries the phrase means the employer names the work itself. A mention in the description may be one task among many.

Then check the level. A Works on AI or Builds AI role asks you to design or ship agent behavior. A Little AI role asks you to understand the topic without building it.

Next, compare employers. Read the roles at Visa, Stripe, Amazon and Mastercard side by side, since they list the most mentions among payments firms.

Finally, set an alert. New postings appear every week, and 56 arrived in the last 30 days.
