Every figure is copied from an employer’s public careers board (a structured pay field, or a range the employer wrote in the listing). We do not estimate, crowdsource, or fill in missing numbers. A listing counts when its title contains “machine learning engineer”, “ML engineer”, MLE, “AI engineer”, or “applied AI/ML engineer”. Managers, directors, and recruiters are left out. Matching is on the title only, not the job description, so listings with unusual titles may be missed.
