Finding a data science job is hard. Hundreds of jobs are posted every day on sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Monster, leading many to lose steam on their job search before they ever really get going. Plus, the “big boards” make it difficult to identify fresh job postings that haven’t already been recycled over and over. And the endless variety of job titles presents its own confusion around relevance, e.g., is a job actually in data science?
There exists a better option to avoid inefficiently spending your time:
Start your search on a dedicated data science job board.
These are the 13 best job sites for data scientists, data engineers, and AI and machine learning professionals.
We launched the Interview Query Job Board with the goal of making it the #1 job search tool for data scientists and data engineers. Since launching, we’ve added new search features like:
All of these jobs connect to your Dashboard on Interview Query after you’ve made an account. The dashboard provides a convenient place to stay on top of your job search, displaying which jobs you’ve already applied to and which you saved to apply to later.
Plus, we’ve added the ability to search by a variety of factors like location (including more than 5,000 remote data science jobs), companies (Amazon is the top company with more than 2,000 postings), job title (30+ positions like data scientist and machine learning engineer) and seniority.

Blind is an anonymous social networking platform that caters to people in tech. The site doesn’t have a traditional job portal; instead, users can tag hiring-related posts. Therefore, Blind is really useful for networking with hiring managers and recruiters. This 1-to-1 connection can help you stand out from the crowd, rather than just Blindly (pun intended) submitting your resume for a position.
Key Features:
Untapped isn’t a data science job board, per se. Rather, it’s a recruiting platform. You can build a profile, which allows you to easily apply to jobs. But you can also generate organic leads from recruiters who find your profile on the platform. In terms of the jobs listed, Untapped specializes in tech and finance jobs, so it is not data science specific. However, many top tech companies including DoorDash, Zoom, Adobe, and Stripe use Untapped to recruit data scientists.
Key Features:
If you’re interested in data analyst jobs, check out Analytics Jobs. The site is UK-based, and the majority of its listings are with companies in the UK.
