Data Scientist Jobs

Compared with the machine learning hub, this one is small: 187 live data scientist listings as of September 2026, with 24 added in the last seven days. The reason is classification rather than demand. Many employers now advertise statistical modeling work under machine learning engineer or applied scientist titles, so a data scientist search here should be read alongside /machine-learning-jobs and /research-jobs.

What remains under the data scientist label leans senior. Of the listings with a stated level, 82 are senior (5 to 8 years), 46 mid level, 21 staff or principal and 20 lead or manager, so roughly half of the levelled roles ask for five years or more. Sample titles reflect that: Senior Staff Data Scientist on a marketplace AI team, Head of Data Science and AI, Engineering Manager for ML and data science, and Senior Consultant in data science and AI.

No single employer dominates. PhysicsX and Compass each have six open roles, Braze five, and Wrike, CrowdStrike, Toast, Autodesk and Catawiki four apiece. That spread across simulation, real estate, marketing software, security and marketplaces is a fair picture of where data scientists are hired outside the big labs. Location is US first with 43 listings, then the UK (14), Canada (12), India (11) and Singapore (7). About 64 percent are remote, the same as data engineering and higher than machine learning engineering.

Pay is stated in US dollars on only 11 percent of these listings; the median midpoint among them is about $194,000 a year, drawn from around twenty roles, so treat it as indicative. For practical searching, set the level filter to senior or staff if that is your band, and use /remote-data-scientist-jobs or /senior-data-scientist-jobs to skip the filters entirely. New graduates should start at /entry-level-data-scientist-jobs, which is a separate slice.
