By skyforbes While curating 20+ AI job listings for AIJobBoard.dev, I kept seeing the same problems over and over:
1) Job titles are meaningless now.
Prompt Engineer. AI Engineer. LLM Engineer. Agent Builder.
Different labels — same real work:
- Prompt design & testing
- LLM integration into products
- Building workflows, agents & API automations
Titles became marketing.
The actual tasks didn’t.
2) Most job descriptions repel good AI developers.
They usually don’t specify:
- Which models are used
- Whether RAG, agents, or orchestration are involved
- How success is measured (quality, latency, cost per request)
From a developer’s view this means:
No clear scope
No ownership
No signal of technical maturity
3) Strong AI devs don’t apply to “vision”. They apply to clarity.
They care about:
- The real stack (LLM provider, frameworks, vector DB)
- Ownership of the AI layer
- Daily collaboration with product, data & domain experts
Everything else is just recruiting noise.
That’s exactly why I built AIJobBoard.dev:
Focused only on Prompt Engineering, Agentic AI & Automation roles —
with clear, technical, no-buzzword job descriptions.
