As generative AI continues to disrupt sectors from cloud infrastructure to financial services, a new breed of tech jobs is emerging at the frontier of innovation. Here are five standout advertised AI roles.
1. Systems Engineer, AI/ML — Qualcomm Technologies
Location: U.S. | Salary: $111,200–$166,800
Qualcomm is building the next generation of AI accelerators, and their systems engineers are at the core of this vision. Engineers here blend software, ML frameworks like PyTorch, and edge deployment at scale.
Beyond programming, this role demands deep understanding of GenAI tuning, model optimization, and MLOps—ideal for hybrid thinkers skilled in C++, Python, and architectural design patterns.

2. Data Scientist, Generative AI — AWS Innovation Center
Location: U.S. | Salary: $125,500–$212,800
Amazon’s AWS GenAI team is pioneering real-world applications of LLMs, working hands-on with customers to implement solutions across industries.
Ideal for candidates with experience in Bedrock, SageMaker, and orchestration tools like LangChain, this role is part R&D, part client strategy. Strong storytelling skills and stakeholder alignment are just as vital as ML expertise.
3. Applied Scientist, Alexa Edge AI — Amazon
Location: U.S. | Salary: $136,000–$223,400
For those passionate about edge computing and multimodal AI, the Alexa Edge AI team offers a runway to experiment with computer vision, speech recognition, and device-level inference.
Candidates should be fluent in deep learning architectures and edge model optimization (quantization, pruning). The work feeds directly into Amazon’s ambient computing vision.
4. Senior AI/ML Engineer — State Street AI & Financial Engineering
Location: U.S. | Salary: $58,240–$98,800
Wall Street meets AI in this hybrid engineering role, where financial data meets MLOps and cloud-native software.
Responsibilities include building microservices, integrating with platforms like Databricks and Snowflake, and supporting quantitative teams. Java, Python (Flask), and Azure experience is crucial.
5. Data Scientist, Generative AI — Amazon (Alternate Role)
Location: U.S. | Salary: $125,500–$212,800
This role at AWS mirrors the previous GenAI data scientist position but may emphasize different domains or customer clusters.
Whether it’s prompt engineering, agent orchestration, or LLM-powered apps, AWS is doubling down on enabling GenAI adoption at scale.
