Companies remain hungry for \u201cdata engineers\u201d and other roles that involve wrestling with massive datasets. That potentially makes things more difficult for recruiters and hiring managers who must secure this talent, and it may lead to them paying higher salaries (and better perks and benefits) for top candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a breakdown of data from Burning Glass\u2019s Nova<\/a> platform, which analyzes millions of active job postings, \u201cdata engineer\u201d remains the top tech job, with an 88.3 percent increase in postings over the past twelve months. (Its top ranking remains unchanged from last month.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the rest of this list has seen some churn since we last ran the numbers. For example, \u201ccomputer scientist\u201d lingered midway down April\u2019s list; now it sits in third place, behind \u201cdata engineer\u201d and \u201cactuary.\u201d Meanwhile, \u201cvideo game designer\u201d dropped slightly, from second place to fourth.
