AI Research Scientist demand questions for the Netherlands

1

Which companies in New Zealand hire AI Research Scientists?

Xero, Datacom, ANZ New Zealand, ASB Bank, and similar employers are among the most consistent hirers for this role in New Zealand.

2

What percentage of AI Research Scientist roles in New Zealand offer remote work?

Around 35% of active New Zealand listings advertise some remote or hybrid flexibility, though model-building and data-pipeline work is largely asynchronous and tool-driven, and New Zealand's small local talent pool means employers routinely hire remote specialists across the country or accept candidates returning from OE (Overseas Experience) in the UK or Australia.
