For this conference, I think it would also be great to have a presentation about job requirements at various levels, then continue to cite that presentation often. It's important to have an on-ramp for people interested in this space with well-known requirements to aim for. This also makes it easy for companies to know what they're getting with this title. The ambiguity of full stack engineers meant that it was a dumping ground for responsibilities.

It feels far too early to me for there to be any clarity on job requirements. If I was hiring for an "AI engineer", I'd want to see examples of things they had built.

(author here) one of my ideas of research for this blogpost was to actually ask a few employer friends who want to hire AI Engineers for a job description, and then put out a generic JD that people can use and clone (kind of a SAFE for AI Engineers if you think about it). however I feel like it is too early still to prescribe something. I'll maybe put up a strawman for the conference and would love feedback then.
