Salary ranges come from structured Ashby and Lever compensation fields (Greenhouse's list API publishes none), so they skew toward the companies that use those systems and publish pay. Midpoint = (min+max)/2, yearly USD only.
2,307 titles mention AI, ML, LLM, inference or research science. The most come from OpenAI (132), Anthropic (124), SpaceX (100), Waymo (89), Databricks (74), Scale AI (47), Snowflake (45) and Cerebras (40). "Forward deployed" is now a real job family: 315 open postings carry that title.
14,260 titles (44%) say senior, staff, principal, lead, head or director. Only 1,647 (5%) say intern, junior, new grad, entry or associate.

Only the public job-board APIs that ATS vendors provide for syndicating postings; no website scraping, no personal data. Remote = the posting's work-type field says remote (or, if empty, the location says remote and not hybrid). Title matching is regex-based and approximate. This is a point-in-time snapshot.
