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 7 postings. 5 of those are based in New York; the rest are remote or in the companies’ other offices.

Engineering roles make up 57% of the postings that name it, with the rest spread across other functions.

Clay alone accounts for 3 of the 7 postings, which is why we lead with the company count: one employer’s hiring push should not read as a market trend.

How to read it

Its presence in a posting suggests a data platform built recently. It is named alongside Airflow more often than instead of it.

What these roles pay

Not enough data to publish. We need at least eight distinct posted salary ranges on New York roles naming Dagster before showing a median, and today there are fewer. For posted pay by function and seniority across the whole market, use the NYC salary calculator or the NYC AI engineer salary guide.

Named alongside Dagster

Terms that appear in the same postings far more often than chance would put them there. The number is how many of the 5 companies pair the two.

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.

Which skills are asked for alongside Dagster?

In the same postings, the terms most distinctively paired with Dagster are BigQuery, Apache Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, PyTorch. We rank pairings by how much more often they appear together than apart, so near-universal terms such as Python do not crowd out the informative ones.

Need someone who has actually shipped this?

A keyword in a posting is easy to match and hard to verify. We match companies with AI engineers and consultancies vetted on production work, and tell you when the project needs a different skill than the one you named.
