Only 1 live prompt engineer postings publish a USD range, too few to quote a median honestly, so the useful benchmark is the market-wide median maximum of $200,000 on 45,044 USD postings. Prompt is a rare title, 13 postings out of 182,590, so most prompt work is paid under broader titles like AI engineer. Measured November 2026.
How this number is measured
Every figure above is computed from the live postings on Level at the time of measurement, November 2026. Each posting is read for how much of the daily work is AI, then rated from Little AI to Builds AI. Salaries use the posting's own range, in US dollars only. Numbers are recomputed monthly and the page is updated when they move by more than 10 percent.
