Each row quotes one record from careers-site snapshots; the “On this site” link opens the bank's own page or sub-page with every source. Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds.
How is this ranked?
Data: the weekly open-AI-roles sweep (data/banks/open-roles.json): currently open AI-related postings read from each bank's own careers site, capped at 12 per bank; snapshots dated 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-27.
Rule: Postings whose title pairs "agentic" with engineer, architect, developer or software. Score = such postings.
Counts: 15 of 141 profiled banks qualify; 30 distinct sources cited in the table. Data checked 2026-10-27; ranking template updated 2026-10-30.
What are the caveats?
Hiring is evidence of intent, not deployment. The snapshot is a point in time: postings close, and a careers site the sweep cannot read leaves the bank out.
Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds, which is not evidence that they do nothing. Each row links the bank's own page, where every entry carries its sources.
Which bank ranks first?
American Express leads with 3 open roles: Director - Cyber Security / Agentic AI - IAM Engineering; Sr Agentic AI Engineer - Core Platforms; Agentic AI Cybersecurity Engineer - Identity Access Lifecycle… (snapshot capped at 12). BofA is second with 2.
How many large banks are hiring agentic AI engineers?
15 of the 141 profiled banks (120 US, 21 non-US groups). Among those listed, 11 are US banks and 4 non-US groups.
What counts, and what does not?
Postings whose title pairs "agentic" with engineer, architect, developer or software. Score = such postings. Source: the weekly open-AI-roles sweep (data/banks/open-roles.json): currently open AI-related postings read from each bank's own careers site, capped at 12 per bank; snapshots dated 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-27.
Is this a measure of capability?
No. Every row is a sourced fact on the public record: what the bank, a regulator, a filing or an independent outlet has put on the record. The page does not rate how well anything works.
When was this checked, and how often does it update?
The data behind the table was last checked on 2026-10-27 (careers-site snapshots). The page recomputes whenever that dataset changes and is republished with the site; it is never edited by hand.
