As of November 11, 2026, Level lists 69 live edge AI roles. Of these, 84% are Works on AI or Builds AI jobs. Apple is reportedly testing an app that runs open-weight models on a Mac. HP, Amazon, Intel and Nvidia post most of these roles.
What happened
On November 10, 2026, 9to5Mac reported that leaker Aaron Perris found a new Apple app called Harbor. The app is in private preview under Apple's Claris brand.
According to the leaked description, Harbor turns a Mac into a private AI inference server. It runs open-weight models locally on Apple silicon, so data stays on the user's hardware.
It can also connect several Macs over Thunderbolt 5 and pool their unified memory. That would let a group of machines run larger models than one computer can.
Nothing here is a launch. Apple has not announced Harbor, and the details come from a leak.
For a job seeker, the useful question is who pays people to build this kind of work. We looked at the live offers that mention edge AI.
How many on-device AI jobs are open right now?
Level has 69 live roles that match edge AI. We searched on edge AI because it is the common job-posting term for on-device AI. On-device roles are a subset of these matches.
Of these roles, 35 carry the word edge in the job title. The rest mention edge AI in the posting, often as one part of a wider job.
Most of the work is software. Software engineering is the largest category, with 35 roles.
Senior titles dominate. Senior roles number 38. Lead roles number 13.
Which AI level are these jobs?
Level gives every posting an AI level from 1 to 4. The level measures how much of the daily work is AI, not how senior the role is. The full definitions are on the levels page.
In this set, 28 roles are Builds AI jobs. In these roles the job is building AI systems.
Another 30 roles are Works on AI. That is 43% of the set. Typical examples are solution architects, developer relations managers and product managers for edge platforms.
Nine roles are Little AI. Two are Uses AI.
Who is hiring for edge AI?
Four employers account for most of the demand. HP has 14 roles. Amazon has 13. Intel has 8. Nvidia has 8.
You can browse their full lists on the HP, Amazon and Nvidia pages.
Samsara has 4 roles. Shield AI, Thales, Airbus and Edge Group have 2 each. Shield AI, Thales and Airbus are defense and aerospace names.
No Apple roles appear in this search.
Where are the jobs, and do they pay well?
The United States has 29 roles. That is 42% of the set. India follows with 11 roles.
Other countries are smaller. Canada has 4 roles. France, Taiwan and China have 3 each.
Early-career openings are scarce. Mid-level roles number 13. Internships number 2.
Only 11 roles are remote. That is 16%. If remote is a hard requirement, start with the remote AI jobs page.
Pay is shown in US dollars on 28 roles. The median midpoint of those salary ranges is $207,000+. Treat that as a signal rather than a promise, because only some employers publish ranges.
