How to Become an AI Engineer by Building AI Agents

AI jobs in 2026 are going to people who can build AI agents — not people with a perfect resume.   CTO Aman Sharma (Lamatic.ai, The AI Collective Miami) breaks down how to build a career with AI agents, what agentic AI hiring actually looks like, and the skills that get you into AI engineer and AI agent jobs.Aman is a serial AI entrepreneur (3 exits, 100+ talks, former ML researcher at TU Wien).   In this Tech Jobber Podcast interview we cover the hiring shift nobody is packaging clearly: portfolio over pedigree, domain expertise over a CS flex, and why “if your resume hasn’t changed in 3 months, you’re stuck.”   You’ll learn:  - How AI jobs and AI agent jobs are actually being filled in 2026 - Why companies want agentic AI builders, not theory - The build-first path: personal agents → helping other people → enterprise work   What a real AI portfolio looks like (and what gets ignored)  How AI hiring screens candidates before a human ever talks to you  How to break into an AI career without waiting for permission  If you’re trying to become an AI engineer, land AI careers around AI agents, or figure out how to build AI agents as career proof — this is the hiring-side version, not a tutorial.   Aman Sharma: LinkedIn — 📷 / amanintech   https://lamatic.ai/ Site — https://amanin.tech/   Tech Job Search Toolkit ($49) Resume templates, LinkedIn headline framework, interview prep. https://techchris6.gumroad.com/l/xjxkbs   About Tech Jobber: Hosted by Chris Schwenk, tech recruiter (18 yrs) and founder of Delos Staffing.
