About this list
What’s included. This page shows roles classified as AI & Machine Learning, located in the San Francisco Bay Area area (San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale…), newest first. Postings come directly from employers’ own career sites, not from other job boards.
How it stays fresh. Aplyr re-checks sources throughout the day and drops a posting as soon as the employer closes it. The page itself is rebuilt daily and the “updated” time at the top refreshes live. Snapshot as of Nov 1, 2026.
Quality filters. The table only shows postings from the last 90 days, newest first, and rows with neither a salary nor a location are moved to the bottom. 3 postings in the latest batch were hidden because the title didn’t match this list’s role family.
