Robotics & AI Hiring Tracker: Jobs at 97 Companies

A daily AI jobs and robotics jobs feed with history: this hiring tracker covers humanoid-robot, robotics, autonomous-vehicle, AI-lab, AI-infrastructure and AI-application companies.

Track who is hiring at 97 robotics and AI companies, every day, and see when each job opened and when it closed.

The Actor reads the companies' own public job boards on Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby. Each run saves every open job with three dates:

• first_seen: the first run that saw the job open;
• last_seen: the last run that saw it open;
• closed_at: the run that first found it gone from the board.

Open and close dates cannot be downloaded later: once a job is taken down, it is gone. They only exist if someone checks every day. Schedule this Actor daily and it builds that history for you, in your own Apify account.

Quick start for AI agents and API users

• What it does: Track open jobs at 97 AI and robotics companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Waymo...) from official job boards, with first-seen and closed dates across runs.
• When to use it: For hiring signals or job alerts.
• Example input (the form's prefill; it finishes in under a minute):

{
  "companyGroups": [
    "humanoids"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

• Example output: one real dataset row from run JXvaoWKYfV1PcMR5v (2026-10-23), with long fields shortened and empty fields left out. Fields not shown are listed in the output table below.

{
  "status": "open",
  "company": "Figure AI",
  "title": "Accounts Payable Specialist",
  "location": "Brazil, CDMX",
  "first_seen": "2026-10-22T03:03:50Z",
  "last_seen": "2026-10-23T13:11:46Z",
  "days_open": 1.42,
  "is_baseline": false,
  "first_seen_source": "archive",

}

• Cost (pay per event, Free-plan prices): job $0.002. Failed items are not charged.
• From an AI agent: with the Apify MCP server, call call-actor with actor phaux/robotics-ai-hiring-tracker, or load it as its own tool with https://mcp.apify.com?tools=phaux/robotics-ai-hiring-tracker. Read results with get-dataset-items.

What you get

• Job posts from Figure AI, Agility Robotics, 1X, Physical Intelligence, Anduril, Shield AI, Skydio, Zipline, Waymo, Zoox, Wayve, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, CoreWeave, Cerebras, Databricks and 80 more.
• New and closed jobs since your last run, with a per-company summary (open, new, reopened, closed).
• Changes only mode: get, and pay for, only the jobs that are new, reopened or closed since your last run.
• Your own companies: add any Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby board next to the built-in lists.
• Clean data: one schema across the three ATSs: title, location, remote flag, department, employment type, salary range when published, posting date, link and description.
• No personal data: emails, phone numbers and recruiter or hiring-manager names are removed from every field, including inside the description HTML.

Who it is for

• Investors and analysts who watch hiring as a growth signal at robotics and AI companies.
• Recruiters and job seekers who want to know the day a role opens, and how long roles stay open.
• Researchers who need a clean, dated history of job posts in robotics and AI.

How to use it

1. Pick one or more company groups (or "All 97 companies"), and optionally add your own boards.
2. Choose Output: "All open jobs" or "Changes only".
3. Run it. Then create a schedule (for example, daily at 06:00) so it keeps the history going.

The first run for a company records the baseline: every job is marked new with is_baseline: true, because the Actor cannot know how long it was open before. From the second run on, new really means new, and closed jobs appear with closed_at filled in.

Where the history is kept

The tracker remembers jobs in a named key-value store in your own Apify account (default name robotics-ai-hiring-tracker-state). Nobody else can read or change it, and nobody else's runs affect it. Use a different Tracker name to keep separate trackers (for example, one per client). If you delete that store, the tracker starts again from a new baseline.

Tutorial: a weekly robotics & AI hiring digest with "Changes only"

Goal: once a week, get only the roles that opened or closed at the companies you care about, and pay only for those rows.

1. Record a baseline, for free. Run once with:

{
  "companyGroups": ["all"],
  "outputMode": "changes",
  "includeBaselineInChanges": false,
  "includeDescription": false
}

With includeBaselineInChanges: false the first run only stores today's jobs in your tracker state (key-value store robotics-ai-hiring-tracker-state). It saves nothing to the dataset and charges nothing.

2. Schedule it. In Apify Console, go to Schedules → Create, pick this Actor with the same input, and set it to run weekly (for example, Monday 07:00). Daily gives more exact closed_at dates (to about a day). Weekly is enough for a digest.

3. Read the digest. Open the run's Changes digest: new, reopened & closed dataset view, or the SUMMARY record for per-company counts. Export it as CSV/Excel, or send it to Google Sheets or Slack with an Apify integration.

What one cycle looked like (real data). We took a baseline on 22 Oct 2026 at about 12:00 AM ET and ran "Changes only" on all 97 companies about 23 hours later (10:52 PM ET). Two runs (h2ks6F9cxyCyG24gM, which stopped at a $0.50 max-charge cap, and oVZQgLDFdMDXeSkw8, which covered the rest) found 436 unique changes. One World Labs row was cut off by the cap in the first run and was saved again in the second, because a company that doesn't fit isn't marked as seen:

	New	Closed
Humanoid robots (6)	8	8
Robotics, drones & defense (35)	66	52
Autonomous vehicles (15)	22	20
AI labs (15)	48	58
AI infrastructure (16)	34	31
AI applications (10)	57	32
Total	235	201

The companies with the most movement: Anduril Industries (39 new / 40 closed), OpenAI (13 / 26), Sierra (26 / 4), Anthropic (13 / 9), Glean (16 / 5), ElevenLabs (7 / 11), Databricks (11 / 7) and Waymo (9 / 5). New humanoid-robot roles that day included Figure AI's "Systems Integration Engineer - Hand Subsystem", 1X's "Staff Systems Engineer - Camera" and Humanoid's "Chief Scientist" (London).

Cost. The 436 change rows cost 436 × $0.002 = $0.87 at the Free-plan price. Saving all 13,293 open jobs in "All open jobs" mode would have cost about $26.59. A week usually has more changes than one day, so cap spending with Max items per run or a maximum cost per run. Companies that don't fit in the cap aren't marked as seen, so their changes come back on the next run.

Narrow it down. Add "keyword": "engineer, research", "location": "San Francisco, remote" or "companyGroups": ["humanoids", "robotics"]. Filters only narrow what is saved. Every job on every board is still tracked, so closures are never missed.

Company groups

• Humanoid robots (humanoids, 6): Figure AI, Agility Robotics, Apptronik, 1X Technologies, The Bot Company, Humanoid
• Robotics, drones & defense autonomy (robotics, 35): Physical Intelligence, Generalist AI, Field AI, Dexterity, Standard Bots, Collaborative Robotics, Formic, Bright Machines, Path Robotics, Locus Robotics, Serve Robotics, Zipline, Wing, Skydio, Anduril Industries, Shield AI, Saronic, Gecko Robotics, Carbon Robotics, Mujin, Viam, ANYbotics, Nimble Robotics, Pickle Robot, Ambi Robotics, Robust.AI, Cobalt Robotics, Brain Corp, Diligent Robotics, Contoro Robotics, Sereact, Foxglove, Merlin Labs, Skyryse, Neuralink
• Autonomous vehicles (autonomous_vehicles, 15): Waymo, Nuro, Zoox, Wayve, Kodiak, Applied Intuition, Waabi, Stack AV, May Mobility, Motional, Torc Robotics, Avride, Outrider, Vay, Glydways
• AI labs & model makers (ai_labs, 15): OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Cohere, Perplexity, Thinking Machines Lab, Reflection AI, World Labs, Black Forest Labs, ElevenLabs, Character.AI, Luma AI, Pika, Suno, Stability AI
• AI infrastructure, chips & compute (ai_infrastructure, 16): Databricks, Scale AI, Together AI, CoreWeave, Lambda, Cerebras, SambaNova, Tenstorrent, Etched, Lightmatter, Crusoe, Modal, Baseten, Fireworks AI, Pinecone, LangChain
• AI applications (ai_applications, 10): Cursor, Cognition, Harvey, Glean, Sierra, Decagon, Replit, Writer, Abridge, Hebbia

The list was checked on 2026-10-21: every board token returned live jobs from its official API. If a company later moves its board, the run reports it in BOARD_ERRORS and leaves its history untouched; you are not charged for it.

Input example

{
  "companyGroups": ["humanoids", "robotics"],
  "outputMode": "changes",
  "ashbyBoards": ["https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/yourcompany"],
  "keyword": "engineer, research",
  "includeDescription": false
}

Filters (title keywords, location, remote only, department, posted since) only narrow what is saved. Tracking always covers every job on each board, so a closed job is caught even if it did not match your filters the day before.

Output example

Two real rows from a "Changes only" run on 22 Oct 2026 at 10:52 PM ET (run on all 97 companies, descriptions off). The first is a job that appeared since the previous run. The second is one that was taken down:

{
  "status": "new",
  "company": "Figure AI",
  "title": "Manufacturing Quality Engineer BotQ",
  "location": "San Jose, CA",
  "first_seen": "2026-10-23T02:52:30Z",
  "last_seen": "2026-10-23T02:52:30Z",
  "closed_at": null,
  "days_open": 0,
  "is_baseline": false,
  "company_group": "humanoids",
  "platform": "greenhouse",
  "job_key": "greenhouse:figureai:4724194006",
  "posted_at": "2026-10-22T20:20:37Z",
  "job_url": "https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/figureai/jobs/4724194006"
}

{
  "status": "closed",
  "company": "1X Technologies",
  "title": "Senior Audio Systems Engineer, Robot Head",
  "location": "San Carlos, CA",
  "first_seen": "2026-10-22T03:40:40Z",
  "last_seen": "2026-10-22T04:00:15Z",
  "closed_at": "2026-10-23T02:52:30Z",
  "days_open": 0.97,
  "is_baseline": false,
  "company_group": "humanoids",
  "platform": "ashby",
  "department": "Hardware Engineering",
  "posted_at": "2026-06-17T20:24:56.533000Z",
  "job_url": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/1x/fbe6dc39-da2e-4d64-a660-f9a38454a93e"
}

days_open counts from the tracker's first_seen. For a job that was already on the board when tracking started, use posted_at to see its full age: the 1X role above was posted on 17 Jun 2026, about four months before it closed.

status is one of new, open, reopened or closed. Open jobs also carry department, employment type, salary, posting date, apply link and the description.

The run's key-value store also holds SUMMARY (open, new, reopened and closed jobs per company) and BOARD_ERRORS. Both are free.

Pricing

You pay per job saved to the dataset, and nothing else: no start fee, and no charge for the summary, for failed boards, or for jobs your filters leave out. In "Changes only" mode you pay only for new, reopened and closed jobs. Set Max items per run or a maximum cost per run to cap spending. A company whose jobs did not all fit is not marked as seen, so its changes come back on the next run.

Good to know

• closed_at is the time of the run that first noticed the job missing. With a daily schedule it is accurate to about a day.
• A job that disappears and comes back within 90 days (configurable) is reported as reopened, keeping its original first_seen.
• If a board that had jobs suddenly returns none, the Actor treats it as an outage and closes nothing (you can change this).
• For three Greenhouse boards (Figure AI, Agility Robotics, Apptronik) the Actor ships an earlier snapshot from 22 Oct 2026, 03:03 UTC. Jobs in it get that time as first_seen, with first_seen_source: "archive".

Data sources and limits

Only the official public job-board APIs are called:

• Greenhouse boards-api.greenhouse.io;
• Lever api.lever.co / api.eu.lever.co;
• Ashby api.ashbyhq.com.

No login, no company websites, no proxies. A job appears only if the company lists it on its public board. Companies on Workday or their own career sites (for example Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, Mistral AI) are not covered.

FAQ

How often should I run it? Daily. closed_at is the time of the run that first noticed a job missing, so a daily schedule makes it accurate to about a day.

Why is every job new on my first run? The first run for a company records the baseline (is_baseline: true), because the Actor cannot know how long a job was open before. From the second run on, new really means new.

How do I pay only for changes? Set Output to "Changes only". You then get, and pay for, only new, reopened and closed jobs.

Can I track companies that are not in the built-in lists? Yes, if they use Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby. Add their board names or board URLs in the "Add your own companies" fields.

Which companies are not covered? Companies on Workday or their own career sites (for example Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, Mistral AI), because only the official Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby APIs are used.

Does the output contain personal data? No. Emails, phone numbers and recruiter or hiring-manager names are removed from every field.
