Short answer

It depends on what you need: on 9 November 2026, realanalystjobs.com lists 1,329 US data science roles at 344 companies, read from the employers' own careers pages and re-checked daily, while LinkedIn and Indeed carry every field and many more postings. 871 of our data science roles are at employers with an H-1B record (USCIS approvals, or certified data scientist LCAs with the Department of Labor in FY2025), and 79 are entry level. For networking pick LinkedIn, for startups Wellfound, for big-metro tech Built In, for students Handshake, and for visa-aware data roles a board that shows each employer's record.

Where US data scientists look, and what each is good for. Facts about other sites come from their own pages on the dates shown; prices change, so check the site before you pay. No ratings, reviews or user counts are quoted.

Where the others fit better

LinkedIn and Indeed have many more data science postings than we do and are free to apply on; LinkedIn adds referrals. Built In is stronger for tech roles in big metros and Wellfound for startups. If your work spans data engineering or machine learning engineering titles, those boards cover them; we do not. We cover US data science and analyst roles only, and applying direct needs a paid plan.

How to judge any board

  • Is the posting still open at the source? Click through to the employer's own careers page before you tailor a resume.
  • Does the posting say anything about sponsorship? If it says it will not, believe it.
  • Has the employer filed for this kind of role before? The DOL LCA data shows data scientist filings by employer, free.

Frequently asked

Is LinkedIn or Indeed better for data scientist jobs?

Both are worth using: LinkedIn for recruiter reach and referrals, Indeed for the widest net. Neither is data science specific, so expect to filter hard.
