What Dagster means

Dagster is an orchestration framework that models pipelines as the tables, files, and models they produce, with typing, testing, and lineage built in. Younger data teams often choose it over Airflow.

Dagster in New York job posts

5 of the 47 New York AI companies we track name Dagster in at least one open role today, across 9 postings. 5 of those are based in New York; the rest are remote or in the companies’ other offices.

This is engineering vocabulary: 78% of the postings that name it are Engineering roles.

Clay alone accounts for 4 of the 9 postings, which is why we lead with the company count: one employer’s hiring push should not read as a market trend.

Open roles naming Dagster

A sample from today’s data, New York roles first and one per company before any repeats. Links go to the employer’s own posting. For the full market, see AI jobs in NYC.

How this is counted

Every day we read the open roles on the public job boards of the New York AI companies in our coverage — the NYC AI 100 and the AI in NYC Show roster. This term is matched against each role’s description after removing the text a company repeats across its postings, so an “About us” paragraph cannot tag every role the company has open. A vendor’s own postings never count toward its own name.

The figure means named in a job posting. It does not mean used in production, and a “nice to have” counts the same as a requirement. Companies are the headline number because posting counts are dominated by whichever few employers are hiring hardest this month.

Full method, including the pay rules, is on the glossary index; the underlying series is the NYC AI Hiring Index.
