DevOps Engineer roles saw a rise of twenty nine percent in California job postings this past week. Data Scientist roles also edged up by eighteen percent in the same period.

The fall in Machine Learning Engineer postings may be due to shifting project priorities within companies. A reduced need for specific machine learning skills could also be a factor.
