AI Engineering Field Guide

Data-driven field guide to AI engineering roles, skills, and interviews. AI Engineering Field Guide is the go-to resource for AI engineering.

Everything here is based on real data: 6,964 actual job descriptions, real interview experiences, and real stories from practitioners. This is not AI-generated filler dumped into a repo - every insight comes from analyzing actual data and synthesizing patterns from it.

Searching Database…

这是什么?一份数据驱动的 AI 工程岗位、技能与面试实用指南,基于数千份真实职位描述、面试经验和从业者故事构建,而不是泛泛而谈的建议。
这是需要安装的工具,还是一套用来读的文档?它是一个文档仓库——包含 Markdown 指南、结构化的 YAML 职位描述数据集和精选资源列表——没有任何需要运行或安装的软件。
我应该从哪里开始读?可以先读 General Learning Path,了解该学什么、按什么顺序学;如果你正在准备某场具体的面试,也可以直接跳到 Interview Preparation。
职位市场数据覆盖面广,还是只来自少数来源?所有职位数据都来自单一来源 builtin.com,且仅限于六个地区,因此它反映的是该平台的职位发布情况,而非全球市场的全貌。
这份指南面向谁?它面向想转型做 AI 工程的工程师——为数据工程师、数据科学家、机器学习工程师、后端和前端岗位提供了专门的转型路径——也适合所有正在准备 AI 工程面试的人。
这份指南是怎么组织的?它分为四个主要部分——The AI Engineer Role、Interview Preparation、Learning Paths 和 Portfolio——此外还有原始职位市场数据集和 Awesome AI Engineering 资源列表。
它和常见的面试准备指南有什么不同?每个论断都有真实数据分析支撑,而非主观观点:数千条职位发布、100 多个 GitHub 实操作业仓库,以及 51 家具名公司的面试解析。
我能自己查看原始职位数据吗?可以,仓库包含结构化的 YAML 职位描述以及最初抓取的原始发布内容,按抓取日期和地区分组。
有没有配套的付费课程?作者开设了付费的 9 周课程“AI Engineering Buildcamp: From RAG to Agents”和“AI Shipping Labs”社区,并在 Maven 上提供免费的网络研讨会录像。
