High-paying AI careers: Netflix & Amazon seek generative AI specialists
As AI continues to shape the future of various sectors, the quest for skilled AI experts and the pursuit of excellence in artificial intelligence show no signs of slowing down.
Highlights
- With the rise of AI, individuals with specialised skills in this realm are now finding themselves in high demand with the promise of well-paying positions
- Prominent companies like Netflix and Amazon are vying for AI expertise by offering competitive remuneration packages
Leading streaming giants Netflix and Amazon are aggressively seeking top-tier talent in the field of generative AI, offering substantial compensation packages of up to Rs 7 crore per year. In a strategic move to harness the potential of AI technology, both companies are willing to pay handsomely to attract professionals skilled in creating AI models like ChatGPT.
Lucrative opportunities for AI specialists
While the rise of AI has led to concerns about job displacement, individuals with specialised skills in this realm are now finding themselves in high demand with the promise of well-paying positions. Qualified experts in generative AI stand a chance of earning remarkable annual salaries, potentially reaching up to US$900,000 (approximately Rs 7 crore). However, these enticing opportunities are currently confined to the United States.
Growing AI influence across industries
Netflix has taken a significant step in their AI-focused recruitment efforts by posting a job listing for a machine-learning platform product manager. This role involves defining the strategic direction of the Machine Learning Platform and assessing its performance. The position, available in California or as a remote West Coast opportunity, offers a substantial annual compensation ranging from US$300,000 to US$900,000, and notably, a college degree is not mandatory.
Amazon is equally invested in securing top AI talent, recently advertising for a senior manager position specialising in applied science and generative AI. The role promises not only intellectual stimulation but also substantial financial rewards. Although the base salary reaches up to US$340,300 annually, potential incentives can further elevate the overall compensation package.
The influence of AI is permeating a diverse range of industries, resulting in an escalating demand for proficient AI professionals. Notably, both Netflix and Amazon are willing to provide salaries that position successful applicants within the top 1% of income earners in the United States. This trend extends to other prominent companies such as Walmart, Google, Match Group, Hinge, and Upwork, all of which are vying for AI expertise by offering competitive remuneration packages.
