NYC ecosystem · Jobs refreshed August 11, 2026
The AI companies of New York — and who’s hiring right now
A curated map of the city’s AI ecosystem, built from the companies we know through the AI in NYC Show and the wider set any honest map has to include. Between them: 434 open roles, 295 in New York, pulled live from their own job boards.
Why New York:the city has become the second capital of applied AI — not by competing with San Francisco’s labs, but by owning the industries where AI meets money: finance, enterprise software, healthcare, media, and law. That mix shapes everything on this page. The companies skew applied over research, revenue over demos — and the hiring bar skews toward engineers who ship, which is the same bar our network vets against. Salaries run 15–25% above national bands (full numbers in the salary guide).
Two ways to use this page: engineers — the live board below links straight to real application pages, no aggregator in between. Companies — this is your competitive hiring landscape, updated daily.

About the AI in NYC Show
Much of this map comes from the interview chair: the AI in NYC Show brings on the founders, builders, and investors shaping the city’s AI ecosystem — from GPU-kernel startups to the AI practices inside Mastercard and AmLaw 50 firms. The show is where we meet the ecosystem; this page is where the ecosystem’s hiring reality lives between episodes.

Start a ProjectFrequently asked questions
What are the top AI companies in NYC in 2026?+
New York’s AI landscape spans frontier-adjacent labs (Runway), AI-native scale-ups (Ramp, Clay, Hebbia, Rogo), infrastructure (Pinecone, Datum, Normal Computing), applied vertical AI (Reality Defender, K Health, Dimer Health, EvolutionIQ), and enterprise AI organizations inside giants like Mastercard. This page curates roughly thirty of them with stage, focus, and live hiring data.
Who is hiring AI engineers in NYC right now?+
The live board on this page pulls open roles daily from each company’s own job board API, so the answer stays current — at recent refresh, Ramp, Clay, and Rogo carried the most open NYC roles. For what those roles pay, see our AI engineer salary guide; New York runs 15–25% above national bands.
How is this list curated?+
Two sources: companies featured on the AI in NYC Show — whose founders and operators we know from the interview chair — and the wider set of AI-native New York companies significant enough that any map of the ecosystem would be incomplete without them. It is a judgment-based list, not a pay-to-play directory.
Is NYC or San Francisco better for AI jobs?+
San Francisco remains the deepest market; New York is the fastest-growing second hub and leads where AI meets finance, enterprise, healthcare, media, and law. NYC salaries run 15–25% above national bands versus SF’s 20–30% — and adjusted for the industries hiring here, New York often offers more paths in at equal seniority.
How current is the jobs data on this page?+
Open-role counts and listings are fetched from each company’s public job-board API (Greenhouse or Ashby) and refresh roughly daily. Companies without an accessible API are listed with a direct careers link instead. Every role links to the company’s own application page — we are not a middleman on these listings.
