AI Engineering is now the #1 fastest-growing job, with salaries hitting $350k. While 53% of roles are remote, many engineers are missing out. Bridge the gap with a project-based Master’s from Saras AI. Scale your ROI and lead the revolution. Cohort starts Feb 2.
AI Engineer is #1 fastest-growing job on LinkedIn with salaries from $180,000 to upwards of $350,000 a year. And 53% of these roles are remote or hybrid according to LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2026 Report.
Yet most software engineers are watching this opportunity pass them by.
Here's the reality: The global demand for AI engineers massively outstrips supply. Companies are desperate for talent who can build, deploy, and optimize AI systems.
And here's what hiring managers are actually looking for:
Tomas Pfister, Head of AI Research at Google Cloud, put it simply: "Definitely looking for people that have actually built something already—something more serious beyond just a simple toy project."
The gap between software engineering and AI engineering? It's bridgeable. You already have the foundation: programming logic, system design, debugging skills. What's missing is the specialized knowledge: LLMs, RAG, PyTorch, data pipelines, model deployment—and the portfolio of real projects that proves you can build.
That's exactly what our Master of Science in AI Engineering delivers in 12 months. Co-designed with AI leaders from Microsoft (Eduardo Kassner, Chief Data & AI Officer) and Google Cloud (Tomas Pfister, Head of AI Research)
What makes this different:
- No exams. Structured, Project-based learning. Build 8+ enterprise-grade AI projects
- Weekly live masterclasses with industry practitioners
- Designed specifically for working software engineers with 1+ years experience
The math is simple:
- $499/month × 12 months = $5,988 investment
- Potential salary increase = $40K-$150K+
That's a 7-25x ROI in your first year alone.
The AI revolution is here. The question is: Will you be leading it, or watching from the sidelines?
