What LangGraph means
LangGraph models an agent as a graph: nodes do work, edges decide what happens next, and state persists across the run so it can pause, resume, or wait for a person. It targets the control and reliability problems that appear once an agent runs for many steps.
LangGraph in New York job posts
3 of the 47 New York AI companies we track name LangGraph in at least one open role today, across 4 postings. 0 of those are based in New York; the rest are remote or in the companies’ other offices.
EvolutionIQ alone accounts for 2 of the 4 postings, which is why we lead with the company count: one employer’s hiring push should not read as a market trend.
How to read it
Named by a small set of companies, nearly always alongside AI agents and LangChain. It identifies a team building multi-step agents in production and caring about controllability.
What these roles pay
Not enough data to publish. We need at least eight distinct posted salary ranges on New York roles naming LangGraph before showing a median, and today there are fewer. For posted pay by function and seniority across the whole market, use the NYC salary calculator or the NYC AI engineer salary guide.
Companies naming LangGraph, daily
Count of companies with at least one open role naming the term. We read between 46 and 48 companies a day over this period, so a move of one or two is noise.

How this is counted
Every day we read the open roles on the public job boards of the New York AI companies in our coverage — the NYC AI 100 and the AI in NYC Show roster. This term is matched against each role’s description after removing the text a company repeats across its postings, so an “About us” paragraph cannot tag every role the company has open. A vendor’s own postings never count toward its own name.
The figure means named in a job posting. It does not mean used in production, and a “nice to have” counts the same as a requirement. Companies are the headline number because posting counts are dominated by whichever few employers are hiring hardest this month.
Full method, including the pay rules, is on the glossary index; the underlying series is the NYC AI Hiring Index.
