What PyTorch means

PyTorch is the deep learning framework most research and most production training is written in. It provides tensors that run on GPUs, automatic differentiation, and an ecosystem of libraries for distributed training and model serving.

PyTorch in New York job posts

11 of the 47 New York AI companies we track name PyTorch in at least one open role today, across 30 postings. 16 of those are based in New York; the rest are remote or in the companies’ other offices.

It is not confined to one function. Engineering roles are the largest group, at only 43% of the postings that name it.

How to read it

If a posting names PyTorch, the job involves training, adapting, or optimizing models, not only calling them. It is named alongside JAX, CUDA, and Hugging Face. It separates machine-learning engineering from AI application engineering more cleanly than any job title does.

What these roles pay

$222kMedian
$265k75th percentile

Midpoints of 11 distinct salary ranges posted on New York roles that name PyTorch. Base salary only; on-target earnings are excluded, and a range repeated across one company’s postings counts once. For comparison, the median across all New York engineering postings is $216k. A term’s pay reflects the roles that name it as much as the skill itself — see the role mix below before reading a premium into it. Full bands by function and seniority are in the NYC salary calculator.

Named alongside PyTorch

Terms that appear in the same postings far more often than chance would put them there. The number is how many of the 11 companies pair the two.

Open roles naming PyTorch

A sample from today’s data, New York roles first and one per company before any repeats. Links go to the employer’s own posting. For the full market, see AI jobs in NYC.

How this is counted

Every day we read the open roles on the public job boards of the New York AI companies in our coverage — the NYC AI 100 and the AI in NYC Show roster. This term is matched against each role’s description after removing the text a company repeats across its postings, so an “About us” paragraph cannot tag every role the company has open. A vendor’s own postings never count toward its own name.

The figure means named in a job posting. It does not mean used in production, and a “nice to have” counts the same as a requirement. Companies are the headline number because posting counts are dominated by whichever few employers are hiring hardest this month.

Full method, including the pay rules, is on the glossary index; the underlying series is the NYC AI Hiring Index.

PyTorch — common questions

What does PyTorch mean in an AI job posting?

The dominant open-source framework for building and training neural networks, and the clearest marker of a role that works on models directly. If a posting names PyTorch, the job involves training, adapting, or optimizing models, not only calling them. It is named alongside JAX, CUDA, and Hugging Face. It separates machine-learning engineering from AI application engineering more cleanly than any job title does.

How many New York AI companies are hiring for PyTorch?

As of November 4, 2026, 11 of the 47 New York AI companies we track name PyTorch in the description of at least one open role, across 30 postings (16 based in New York). The count refreshes daily from the companies’ own job boards.

What do roles that ask for PyTorch pay in New York?

Across 11 distinct posted salary ranges on New York roles naming PyTorch, the median midpoint is $222k base, with the middle half between $170k and $265k. The same figure for all New York engineering postings is $216k. These are employer-posted ranges required by New York’s pay transparency law, base salary only.

Which skills are asked for alongside PyTorch?

In the same postings, the terms most distinctively paired with PyTorch are Deep learning, JAX, TensorFlow, CUDA, Multimodal AI. We rank pairings by how much more often they appear together than apart, so near-universal terms such as Python do not crowd out the informative ones.

Need someone who has actually shipped this?

A keyword in a posting is easy to match and hard to verify. We match companies with AI engineers and consultancies vetted on production work, and tell you when the project needs a different skill than the one you named.
