† Shown but left out of the headline figures: we doubt it fits our definition of an AI-native services firm. Hadrian is a manufacturer running its own factories; Mercor is an expert-contractor and training-data marketplace for AI labs. With them included the totals are 610 roles, 16% professional. * Borderline between service and software; included.
Methodology and limits
We look for an Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever or Workable board linked from each firm's website or careers page, then read its public job feed. 37 of 170 firms have a board we can read. Every listed title is classified by hand-reviewed rules into four types: engineering and AI (software, data, ML, infrastructure, security, forward-deployed and legal or accounting engineers); professional service staff (lawyers, paralegals, auditors, accountants, brokers, underwriters, claims handlers, clinicians, revenue-cycle specialists, bankers, advisors); production and field (manufacturing, construction, technicians); and everything else (sales, marketing, operations, product, design, people, finance).
Limits: a listing is not a hire, and one listing can cover several seats. Firms that hire through LinkedIn, agencies or their own pages are invisible here, so the sample leans toward venture-backed US and UK firms. General applications and talent pools (9 listings) count as "other". Titles can be ambiguous; the rules and the full CSV are public so you can re-cut them.
Snapshot Oct 16, 2026. We re-run the same scan weekly and keep every snapshot, so changes in open roles become visible from next week.
