I Built a Free Dashboard to Track AI in Data Science
Explore the skills companies are actually hiring for, updated weekly with thousands of job postings
What AI skills are companies actually hiring for right now?
That question has been driving a lot of my research over the past few months. I’ve been scraping thousands of U.S. data science job postings, analyzing the data, and writing about the findings here.
But at some point, I realized something: the dashboard I built for the analysis was more useful than anything I was writing about it.
So I decided to open source it.
What the dashboard covers
You can explore:
The top skills companies are actually hiring for, ranked by frequency
Skills broken down by category (ML/DL, GenAI, Cloud, MLOps, etc.)
What percentage of roles now require AI skills, broken down by seniority level
The salary premium for candidates with AI skills
An interactive explorer where you can browse individual postings with matched skills highlighted
The skill extraction is built on around 230 curated keyword groups, so it’s pretty granular.
Why open source?
I’ve always believed that the best way to help people navigate this market is to show them the data, not just tell them what I think about it.
The code, the data, and the full methodology are all available in this GitHub repo. You can fork it, run your own analysis, or build on top of it.
And by the way, I’m scraping weekly, and I’ll soon be uploading all of the raw data to Kaggle as well. For now, everything is in the repo.
What’s next?
I plan to keep updating this throughout the year and revisit the analysis before the summer. Just like the one I did early this year:
If you find it useful, give the repo a star and share the dashboard with someone who might benefit from it. That’s the best way to say thank you and support this work.
Oh and of course, if you spot anything off or have ideas for what to add, I’d love to hear from you.
