AI/ML software engineering jobs: what one snapshot can—and cannot—show
A concise reading of 117 eligible AI/ML roles, their 7.1% inventory share, published technology tags, external labor-market context, and the limits of causal claims.
CronJobs research catalog
U.S. software engineering jobs data
Dated, downloadable snapshots of the U.S. software engineering jobs visible to CronJobs, with the definitions and limitations needed to evaluate or cite them. The latest observation contains 1,655 eligible jobs from 448 companies.
Latest jobs dataset
The September 1 snapshot is a point-in-time view of CronJobs’ eligible source inventory, not an estimate of every U.S. opening. It covers role mix, work mode, seniority, listing age, salary disclosure, source mix, and normalized technology demand.

Machine-readable access
- Latest completed JSON snapshot — a mutable pointer whose payload records its exact observation timestamp.
- Dataset manifest — identifies the newest immutable dated snapshot.
- September 1, 2026 JSON snapshot — the immutable JSON behind the current report.
- CSV download table — eight aggregate tables with visible descriptions and formats.
How to cite the data
Cite the dated report and its exact observation timestamp together with the jobs data methodology. Do not cite the mutable latest.json URL without recording the timestamp returned, and do not describe CronJobs inventory as the entire U.S. labor market.
