This role's skill map

Every share divides by this role's 151 postings in the September 11, 2026 edition. The 20 technology skills they mention most, grouped into three lenses; a lens is a reading aid and does not mean its skills matter equally.

Reading this edition

Across 151 Data Scientist postings: in Foundations and problem-solving, Python is mentioned most (84.8%); in Production and delivery, Git is mentioned most (28.5%); in Framework, LLM and domain signals, LLM is mentioned most (33.1%).

Compared with all core AI postings, this role mentions Machine Learning (70.2%, overall 25.5%), Data Analysis (53.6%, overall 16.4%), SQL (41.7%, overall 15.3%) at least twice as often.

A share is a signal of what employers write into postings. It does not mean a course is required to do the job, and it says nothing about hiring odds or pay.

How the readings are made: "more concentrated than overall" means that in a role family with a page of its own, at least 10 postings mention the skill and its share is at least 2 times its share of all core AI postings; "common" means at least 20% of a role's postings mention it. They describe the postings open in this edition, not a trend.
