Where it is mentioned most
Each row divides by that role's postings in this edition, highest share first.
Postings in 9 role families mention Algorithm Design in this edition.
In 2 of the 8 role families with a page of their own, at least one posting in five mentions Algorithm Design: Algorithm Engineer 55.1%, Computer Vision Engineer 26.6%.
Algorithm Design is more concentrated in Algorithm Engineer postings (55.1%) than across all core AI postings (11.3%): at least twice the overall share.
Algorithm Design is more concentrated in Computer Vision Engineer postings (26.6%) than across all core AI postings (11.3%): at least twice the overall share.
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.
