Many first-time AI job seekers limit themselves to roles labeled “Junior” or “Fresher,” overlooking other opportunities. In AI and ML, job titles are often inconsistent. For example, an “AI Engineer” position at a small startup may be suitable for entry-level candidates, while some “Junior” roles require two years of experience. Instead of filtering by title, review each job description carefully. Below are 15 remote AI/ML jobs for freshers and junior engineers in India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Some roles are explicitly entry-level, while others may require a strong portfolio. Requirements can change frequently, so review each listing before applying.
Remote AI/ML Jobs for Freshers and Junior Engineers

- StackAdapt – ML Engineer
- Verian Group – Junior AI Engineer
- Prima – ML Engineer
How to improve your chances of being hired
When mentoring aspiring AI engineers, I recommend focusing on three key areas before applying:
- Build projects that demonstrate practical skills. For example, develop an end-to-end ML model, a RAG application with evaluation, or an AI agent that uses tools. Ensure your GitHub portfolio includes working code, clear documentation, and measurable results.
- Tailor your resume to each role. Highlight relevant skills such as Python, SQL, PyTorch, FastAPI, LLMs, RAG, model evaluation, and deployment, but only where you have genuine experience.
- Review the requirements before applying. Remote roles may require a specific country of residence, work authorization, experience level, or time-zone availability. Do not assume every opening is suitable for freshers.
The Takeaway
Remote AI jobs are competitive but attainable. Successful candidates are not always those with the best degrees, but those who build consistently, document their learning, and persist after initial rejections.
Select three roles from this list that align with your current skills, tailor your portfolio for each, and apply this week. Repeat this process. Both skill and persistence compound over time.
