About the board
The title is only part of the job.
Same title. Different work.
A Data Analyst might build dashboards at one company and maintain production pipelines at another. Searching by title alone puts both jobs in the same pile.

Another listing called “Data Analyst”

How we organize the board
We collect job postings and put them into a consistent format. Classification uses rules and AI to read the responsibilities and tools in each description, then groups the role by the kind of work it describes.
The full job description stays available. The category is another way to narrow your search; the full description is still the place to check what the employer expects.
- Analyst
- Reporting, dashboards, and business decisions.
- Data Engineer
- Pipelines, storage, and reliable data infrastructure.

- Analytics Engineer
- Data transformation, modeling, and the semantic layer.
- ML Engineer
- Building and operating machine learning systems.
- Data Leadership
