Stated in the posting
1,884 of 3,311 postings (56.9%) name Python, the most named technology.
Share of all 3,311 postings that mention it. A posting can mention several, so the bars do not add up to 100%.
The 15 technologies named most often in posting text, counted once per posting. A posting can name many technologies, so counts and shares overlap. Postings where we found no technology names, or that changed after we last read them, name nothing here.
Our reading of the posting
2,554 of 3,311 postings (77.1%) write production code.
The principal coding scope described in each posting. Production means code used in real work. Prototypes means demos or proofs of concept. Configuration means integration without substantive software development.
- A technology named in a posting is a keyword in its text, not proof that the tool is required in every part of the job.
- Start from the work the posting asks for, then check which language, cloud or data system supports it.
- A Databricks senior FDE posting accepts Python, Scala, JavaScript or TypeScript, and asks for Spark and cloud work it delivers to production.
What to do with a technology count
Learning the most-mentioned language does not make you a candidate for the roles that mention it. Read two or three postings that name the technology you are considering, and look at what the engineer does with it: a service in production, a customer integration, an evaluation harness, or a prototype. The skills and learning guide turns that into a study plan.
