| 16 | Data EngineerBuilds the pipelines, warehouses and platforms that move and store data. | 3 | |
| 17 | Agent EngineerBuilds LLM agents that plan and call tools, and the harnesses that keep them reliable. | 3 | |
| 18 | AI EngineerA software engineer who builds products on top of models rather than training them. | 3 | |
| 19 | Platform EngineerBuilds the internal platform other engineers deploy on: clusters, CI, paved roads. | 3 | |
| 20 | Firmware EngineerAn engineer who develops low-level software that directly controls hardware components and embedded systems. | 3 | |
| 21 | Test EngineerAn engineer who builds and executes testing routines to verify software functionality and performance. | 3 | |
| 22 | Research ScientistDesigns and runs experiments to push what models can do; usually a PhD role. | 2 | |
