- What are vibe coding jobs?
- Vibe coding jobs are software roles where the work is done by directing AI tools — describing what you want, reviewing what the model produces and steering it — instead of typing most of the code yourself. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025. In practice it covers engineers who build with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and similar agents every day, and are expected to judge and fix what those tools produce.What is vibe coding?
- Is "vibe coder" a real job title?
- Rarely. Almost no employer posts a role called "Vibe Coder"; the work shows up inside ordinary titles — software engineer, AI engineer, product engineer — where the description says AI tools are part of how the job is done. That is why this page is built from how central AI is to each role, not from the words in its title.
- Which tools do these roles use?
- Most often Claude Code and Cursor, followed by Codex and GitHub Copilot, with app builders such as Lovable, Replit and v0 showing up less often. Every listing shows the tools it names, and you can filter by tool.
- How are these roles chosen?
- Each listing on this board is classified by how central AI is to the job. This page shows only the engineering roles classified as AI-first. Roles that mention AI only in vague terms, or treat it as a nice-to-have, are left out here.
- What's the salary range?
- Based on the 217 listings on this board with a USD salary range as of October 7, 2026, the middle half of them pays roughly $165K to $240K a year, with a median of $200K — a small sample, so treat it as a directional signal, not a guarantee. Monthly pay is converted to a yearly figure here; hourly and one-time pay is left out.Vibe coding salary breakdown
