Are you making a 2022 new year’s resolution to advance your career in data science, data engineering, or data analytics? Yay you! We can assure you there are tons of data-focused job opportunities out there, and that number is only growing. At Dataspace, we’ve posted 24% more data jobs in 2021 than our previous top year. (And the year still isn’t over yet!)
But even with so many opportunities out there, finding that perfect data job needle in the online job board haystack can be a challenge. While big, general purpose boards, such as Dice and Indeed, are great places to start, you can find more unique and specialized opportunities on job boards focused solely on data science careers.
So to help you with your job search, we’ve compiled a list of the best data science job boards out there.
Dataspace Data Science Job Board
Before we dive into the full list of jobs boards, we want to encourage you to start your search with our own data science job postings—we offer exclusive data science, engineering, and analytics opportunities with industry-leading companies across the U.S.
General Data Science Job Boards
As opposed to the specialized data science job boards we cover later, general data science job boards list jobs in fields across the data science, analytics, and data engineering spectrum. Some even extend beyond the boundaries of analytics, into more traditional technology fields.

Job postings expire after 20 days and will no longer appear in search results, but are still browsable from the homepage and may still be open.
MLconf
| SPECIALIZATION | Machine Learning |
| # JOBS | < 50 |
| SEARCH | Basic |
| INTERNATIONAL | Yes |
| RESUME/PROFILE | No |
| JOB ALERTS | No |
The Machine Learning Conference (MLconf) hosts a small job board for machine learning-focused positions, many in academia, and displays them along with machine learning openings pulled in from Indeed. The search function is very basic and currently doesn’t handle location input. The site does not offer job alerts nor handle the application process. While the MLconf’s job board is extremely limited, it may be worth a look if your specialty is machine learning.
Outer Join
| SPECIALIZATION | Remote Jobs |
| # JOBS | 1000 + |
| SEARCH | Limited |
| INTERNATIONAL | Yes |
| RESUME/PROFILE | No |
| JOB ALERTS | Yes |
Launched in 2021, Outer Join is focused solely on “remote jobs in data science, analytics, and engineering.” They list hundreds of opportunities with well-known companies in the U.S. and abroad, but their search interface is fairly limited and the site does not handle the application process. Job seekers can subscribe to get alerts on new job postings in a particular data specialization.

| JOB ALERTS | No |
The Python Job Board is hosted by the Python Software Foundation and lists more than a hundred paid python-focused opportunities from around the world, including many data science and engineering related positions. The search function on the website is not limited to the job board, but users can browse job postings via type, category, and location. The application process is handled externally, and while users can create an account, it is to the Python Software Foundation website as a whole.
Remote Tech Jobs
| SPECIALIZATION | Remote Jobs |
| # JOBS | ~ 5000 |
| SEARCH | Limited |
| INTERNATIONAL | Yes |
| RESUME/PROFILE | No |
| JOB ALERTS | Limited |
https://www.remotetechjobs.com/
Remote Tech Jobs aggregates a wide range of remote-only IT/data opportunities from 11 different job boards, as well as direct submissions from employers. There are thousands of tech opportunities listed, but data-focused jobs are categorized inconsistently, so it’s more effective to search on terms like job title or specific technologies. Job alerts also appear to be only available by category, which limits their effectiveness for data jobs.
Find your next data science job
Right now, there are thousands and thousands of open positions in the data sciences. FInding the right one for you can certainly be overwhelming. It makes sense to take advantage of features like job alerts and resume listings when they are available, but also remember to keep an eye on smaller, more targeted job boards, like our data science job postings. These often have unique opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. And when it comes to Dataspace, we go out of our way to make sure our data science candidates and contractors are happy and that the job seekers and the role are a good match.

Hi. Great list! I would like to add Vorsers (www.vorsers.com). Vorsers.com – for analytical masterminds welcomes people with a master’s degree, or higher, in fields that relate to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We love to highlight jobs and PhD positions from cutting-edge organizations that play a critical role in driving innovation and in maintaining a competitive edge in knowledge-based economies.
Hello! I have recently started a Data Job board called: datadata.jobs. I aggregate all of the best data jobs from all over the internet (Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Head of Data, Data Team Managers, etc.) — many of which aren’t on other job boards or are difficult to find. They tend to be higher paying and at high-quality companies, with some startups included. I think it would help out a lot of people 🙂
