What data and AI employers are hiring for

RoleDemand tracks the data and AI employers you name and reads their open roles from their own career pages every day. The seeded pack covers foundation-model labs, applied AI product companies, data infrastructure and analytics platforms, MLOps tooling vendors, and machine-learning research groups across the UK and Europe.

The pack covers 16 countries with the United Kingdom leading. Geography, employer list and role groupings are pack settings, so a client pack can be narrower or wider than this one.

All of them, then grouped by function and seniority so a desk can read the market at a glance. In data and AI that usually means research and applied science, data platform engineering, and the infrastructure roles that appear before a model ships.

Classification runs on every posting: function, seniority and the skills named in the description.

The point where a lab stops advertising research scientists and starts advertising inference, evaluation and platform engineering. That switch happens some months before the product is announced, and it is visible on the careers page the whole time.

None of that is a prediction. It describes the order employers advertise in, and it is why a daily read of a whole market beats a monthly read of a few: the roles that tell you something arrive before the announcement, and they are only visible while they are open.

The 25 employers in the seeded data and AI pack publish their vacancies through 3 different applicant tracking platforms. That is the tightest spread of the 11 seeded markets: 13 on Greenhouse, 11 on Ashby, 1 on Lever. Even so, none of the three publishes in the same shape as the others, and none of them offers a view across all 25 at once.

RoleDemand reads 34 of these platforms, which is what makes a daily pass over a whole market practical. The full list and the stages of a run are on how it works.

The seeded data and AI pack carries 25 employers, every one of them a real business whose public applicant tracking endpoint was checked by hand. How many a client's own pack holds is set by the plan: Core tracks up to 50, Plus up to 100.

An employer joins a pack only after their careers endpoint has been fetched and the response read. An endpoint that could not be confirmed is left out rather than recorded optimistically.

It refreshes every day. A run collects each employer's open roles, works out what opened and closed since the previous cycle, and rebuilds the dashboard, so a consultant is quoting the last 24 hours rather than the last quarter.

The public sample dashboard is a build of the renewable energy pack rather than this one. The interface, the modules and the insight pack are the same in every market; only the employers and the role groupings change.

RoleDemand Core costs £169 a month and tracks up to 50 data and AI employers. RoleDemand Plus costs £299 a month and tracks up to 100. Both are per agency rather than per seat, setting the data and AI market up is included, and an agency that finds the first insight pack unhelpful can cancel inside 30 days.

Core at £169 a month tracks up to 50 employers, and covers setting the pack up, the daily refresh, the dashboard and the insight pack. Plus at £299 doubles that to 100 employers and takes changes to the list and the role groupings on request. The cancellation window and the rate lock are on the pricing page.
