Q: AI Engineer, GenAI Engineer, LLM Engineer — which job titles should I search for?

All of them. Different companies use different names for the same core job.

The titles you'll see: AI Engineer, GenAI Engineer, LLM Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, Agent Engineer, AI Solutions Architect, AI Platform Engineer, Forward-Deployed Engineer. Underneath, the stack is the same: LLM APIs, RAG, agents, production deployment. Build the stack once and you qualify for all of them.

So don't filter your job search by one title. Search broadly, then read the description. If it mentions RAG, agents, LLM APIs, or vector databases, it's an AI engineering role, whatever the company called it. This includes many postings titled "ML Engineer": a large share of those are actually LLM-integration jobs wearing an older label. Skipping them means skipping real opportunities.
