# AI Engineer Skills: What the Job Ads Actually Ask For

**Use case:** 

A ready-made run over live AI engineering postings on seven public job boards, turned into one row per skill with employers, seniority mix and co-skills. In the run behind this page LLMs appeared in 55% of the ads and Python in 40%, with observability and CI/CD close behind, which says a lot about what the job really is.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/precious_bathmat/skills-in-demand.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
