How many Fractal AI careers are open right now?
114. Fractal’s careers page at fractal.ai/careers forwards straight to a Workday job board, so that board is the list that counts. We read every posting on it by script on 11 November 2026, including each one’s detail page, rather than trusting the summaries that job sites copy around.
The mix tells you who Fractal actually wants. Workday groups the postings into job families, and data engineering is the biggest by a distance. Almost every title asks for years of experience, and the floors printed in the descriptions mostly start at three to five years and climb past ten for architect and lead roles.
| Job family on Fractal’s board | Open postings, 11 Nov 2026 |
|---|---|
| Data Engineer | 35 |
| Fractal Analytics (general, mostly architects and consultants) | 24 |
| Data Scientist | 18 |
| Decision Scientist | 15 |
| AI Engineer | 7 |
| Sales (account growth and new business) | 7 |
| Corporate functions | 5 |
| Project management | 2 |
| EdTech | 1 |
Freshness is uneven. 42 postings were opened in the 30 days before we looked, and the newest four carry a start date of 10 November 2026. At the other end, 24 carry start dates before 2026, and a Data Scientist posting for the pharma domain has been open since 14 June 2022. Workday shows it as live; whether anyone is still reading applications for it is another question, and one the board does not answer.
Which cities do Fractal’s openings sit in?
Bengaluru, by a wide margin. Many postings name several cities at once, so the counts below add up to more than 114: each row is the number of postings that list that city as a possible base.
| City | Postings naming it | Country |
|---|---|---|
| Bengaluru | 62 | India |
| Mumbai | 46 | India |
| Gurugram (listed as Gurgaon) | 36 | India |
| Pune | 29 | India |
| Chennai | 23 | India |
| Noida | 16 | India |
| New York | 12 | United States |
| Hyderabad | 9 | India |
| California | 8 | United States |
| London | 5 | United Kingdom |
Counted another way, 68 postings name at least one Indian city, 28 name a US state, five are in London, three in Amsterdam and one in Melbourne. Nine show no location at all, including the three returnship postings covered below. Every posting on the board is marked full time; 102 are regular roles and nine are fixed term, which is worth checking before you resign from anything.
What pay do Fractal’s own postings list?
Only the US ones say anything. Of the 28 US postings, 21 print what Fractal calls a reasonable estimate of the current range, beside a note that hiring at or near the top of it is not typical. None of the 68 Indian postings prints a figure. These are the most recent US estimates as listed on 11 November 2026; they are Fractal’s own words, change without notice, and promise nothing to any applicant.
| Posting | Location | Opened | Range as listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gen AI | Tennessee | 10 Nov 2026 | $150,000 to $155,000 |
| Technical Program Manager | New Jersey | 10 Nov 2026 | $120,000 to $140,000 |
| Senior Gen AI Engineer | Massachusetts | 6 Nov 2026 | $120,000 to $150,000 |
| Engagement Manager, CPG and Retail | New York | 3 Nov 2026 | up to $180,000 |
| Sr Business Analyst / Senior Decision Scientist, Insurance | New York | 20 Oct 2026 | $125,000 to $135,000 |
| Senior Data Scientist | New York or New Jersey | 16 Oct 2026 | $110,000 to $140,000 |
| Product Analytics Insights Leader | Minnesota | 16 Oct 2026 | $150,000 to $200,000 |
Notice what is missing from the Indian side: no ranges, no grades, nothing. Anyone quoting an Indian Fractal salary is quoting self reported survey data or a forum, not Fractal, and should say so. We have left those figures out rather than dress them up as facts.
Can freshers or career returners get into Fractal?
Not through the public board, at least not today. There is no graduate, intern or trainee posting among the 114. Fractal’s entry route for students is its Imagineer programme, which runs through campus drives; a student on r/PlacementsPrep in October 2026 described Fractal arriving at their college for an Imagineer drive, and job sites still carry Imagineer listings from earlier batches. None of those was on Fractal’s own board on 11 November 2026, so treat any Imagineer link elsewhere as old until the board shows a fresh one.
Career returners have a named route that is easy to miss. Three postings carry the ReBoot label, and the Data Testing Engineer ReBoot posting describes ReBoot as Fractal’s returnship for people who took a career break: four months, paid, with a minimum corporate break of one year, and a full time role possible afterwards. The catch is the date. All three ReBoot postings were opened on 29 May 2023 and carry no location, which reads more like a page nobody closed than a cohort hiring this month. Ask a Fractal recruiter before building plans around it.
If you are early in your career and Fractal is the dream rather than the plan, our guide to AI jobs for freshers in India lists what is actually open to recent graduates, and the getAIwork match quiz will point you at the kind of work that fits what you can show today.
What does Fractal’s IPO prospectus say about its staff?
That it is big, growing and losing fewer people than it used to. Fractal Analytics went public through an offer that ran from 9 to 11 February 2026, and its prospectus dated 11 February 2026 sets out the people numbers in one table, quoted here as filed:
| Period end | Full time employees | Attrition rate |
|---|---|---|
| 31 March 2023 | 4,221 | 23.7% |
| 31 March 2024 | 4,639 | 15.8% |
| 30 September 2024 | 4,755 | 16.1% |
| 31 March 2025 | 5,254 | 16.3% |
| 30 September 2025 | 5,722 | 15.7% |
The prospectus counts attrition as voluntary leavers over the trailing 12 months divided by average headcount, and it lists employee benefits at 72.2% of revenue from operations for the six months to September 2025. In its risk factors it also says plainly that failing to attract and retain skilled AI and engineering staff could hurt the business. In other words, salaries are most of what Fractal spends money on. The same filing is hosted on Fractal’s own investor pages.
What do Fractal candidates report about interviews and offers?
We read five Reddit threads from 2026 that discuss applying to or joining Fractal; four carried a usable account. They are what individual people report, not findings, and none of them speaks for Fractal.
In April 2026 an Azure data engineer with eight years of experience asked for opinions on r/dataengineeringjobs after clearing two technical rounds. The first, they wrote, covered basic Python with lists and dictionaries, two SQL queries and a project walk through; the second went into Spark optimisation, running notebooks in parallel and the syntax for a merge upsert. Replies in the same thread described a client bench followed, after about two weeks without a project, by a company wide bench. One commenter claimed mass resignations; the prospectus table above shows attrition falling from 23.7% to 15.7%, so that claim is unverified and the filing points the other way.
In October 2026 a data engineer with three years of experience reported on r/dataengineersindia that they cleared every round, then heard at the document submission stage that the position had been filled and no offer would be released, with their profile kept active for future openings. A reply alleged that staff inside the company were also without projects; that is one anonymous allegation and we could not verify it.
Also in October 2026, a final year student wrote on r/IndiaCareers that they had been placed on campus at the start of fourth year and, with almost a year until joining, worried in public about whether the offer would survive. Long gaps between a campus offer and a joining date are common across Indian IT, and the worry is a reasonable one to raise with the recruiter in writing.
How do you apply to Fractal without chasing old listings?
Start at Workday and work outwards. If a role is not on the Fractal board, assume it is filled or was never Fractal’s, whatever the listing elsewhere says. Sort by date and give the postings opened in the last month your first evening; the 2022 and 2023 ones can wait. Read the experience floor in the description before applying, because most titles here quietly mean senior.
The getAIwork board makes a useful cross check. On 11 November 2026 it carried exactly one Fractal listing, the Data Scientist/Senior Data Scientist Gen AI posting in India, and among its 1,962 live listings it held 243 data science, data engineering and AI engineering titles, Fractal’s included, 194 of them graded advanced and 12 beginner. Listed pay on the board for coding and software roles had a median of $187,200 a year across 487 listings, per stats.json updated 10 November 2026; those are figures as listed, rates change and nothing is guaranteed. Browse the getAIwork board, which is free and public with no sign up, if you want the same kind of work from employers whose boards are less crowded.
For comparison with other employers’ own boards, our pages on Tenstorrent’s Greenhouse board and OpenAI’s hiring and contractor routes were built the same way, from the companies’ job feeds on the day. And if a WhatsApp message offers you a Fractal job for a fee, you are not talking to Fractal; real employers do not charge applicants.
If Fractal is one of several employers you would happily join, take the getAIwork match quiz before you spend another week refreshing a single careers page.
