How the AI level is measured
Level reads every job description it ingests and gives it a score from 0 to 100 for how central artificial intelligence is to the work. That score maps to a level from 1 to 4. The scale is the same for every role and every industry, so a support job and a research job can be compared on it. 26,950 live jobs from 369 companies carry a level right now.
What is read
Three signals, all taken from the posting itself, never from the company's marketing: the AI tools and models named in the text, the skills the role asks for, and how much of the described work depends on them. A company that calls itself an AI company but posts a role with no AI in the daily work scores low. A role that never says "AI" but asks for retrieval pipelines scores high.
The four levels
AI-native jobs score 80 to 100
Building AI systems is the job itself, not a tool used on the side. 773 live jobs sit at this level.
AI-core jobs score 60 to 79
AI tools are part of the daily workflow and named in the job description. 1,733 live jobs sit at this level.
AI-assisted jobs score 40 to 59
The role uses AI tools regularly, alongside a large non-AI workload. 6,455 live jobs sit at this level.
AI-proof jobs score 0 to 39
AI is absent from the posting or only mentioned in passing. 17,989 live jobs sit at this level.
The thresholds are fixed: 80 and above is level 4, 60 is level 3, 40 is level 2, and everything below is level 1. They are not percentiles, so the share of jobs at each level moves with the market rather than staying constant.
How often it is recomputed
Jobs are pulled from company applicant tracking systems every six hours. A new posting is scored on ingestion; a posting whose text changes is scored again. A job that disappears from its source is marked expired and leaves the listings. Counts on this page and on every level page are read from the database at render time, so they describe the board as it is, not as it was at launch.
Limits
The level describes the posting, not the company and not the person who ends up in the seat. A badly written description can understate a role. Where a description says nothing about AI, the level says AI is absent from the description, which is a weaker claim than saying AI is absent from the job. Browse the scale on the levels hub.
