250+ Data & Analytics Jobs in Austin, TX

Observed local wage data is strongest for data scientists, not the whole category: Austin had 3,730 data scientist jobs in May 2025 with a mean annual wage of $126,830 and a median of $127,360, while the local 25th percentile was $85,780. Proxy signals are higher because they reflect current postings skewed toward experienced talent: posted salary ranges for the broader Data, Analytics & AI category center on about $129k to $200k, and a BLS-based staffing summary puts Austin data scientists at $161,560 at the 75th percentile and $186,010 at the 90th percentile.

What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

Austin is still a viable market for Data, Analytics & AI, but it is not an easy one. The metro backdrop is still expanding, with 3.1% annualized payroll growth in the three months ending July 2026, 1.9% year-over-year nonfarm job growth through June 2026, and a 4.0% July unemployment rate. Hiring is active across a long employer list, with more than 175 observed postings across more than 100 companies over the last 90 days. The catch is selectivity: about 40% of sampled roles are mid-level and about 40% senior, while only about 15% are entry-level, and Texas occupation data shows postings rising faster than employment.

Best positioned: The best odds right now are for mid-to-senior candidates who can show Python, SQL, and Tableau fluency, add some AWS or machine-learning depth, and tie that skill set to software, public-sector, consulting, or hardware-adjacent analytics.

Main caution: The biggest trap is assuming Austin's high posted pay means broad access; the market skews toward senior, hybrid/on-site roles in a city with a cost-of-living index around 129.1.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is not in one giant employer wave. The sample shows a fragmented market with more than 175 postings across more than 100 companies over the last 90 days, and the most-active employers include TX-HHSC-DSHS-DFPS, Integra FEC, Realtor, Bain & Company, News Corp, Apple, Inc., RevOps Advisor, and Agoda. That matters because Austin job seekers can run a focused multi-employer search instead of betting everything on one big-tech brand. Sector mix points to a few practical lanes. Software development accounts for about 30% of observed postings, government and public sector about 15%, broader technology about 15%, computer hardware development about 10%, and consulting about 10%. That mix favors business-facing analytics tied to product, operations, service delivery, or applied AI deployment. It also means pure research-style AI jobs are present but narrower, as shown by Rockwell Automation's local Advanced Analytics Research Scientist opening tied to Vision-Language-Action systems.

• Software and product analytics (high): This is the biggest observed lane, with software development representing about 30% of sampled postings and active employers including Realtor, News Corp, Apple, Inc., and Agoda.
• Government and public-program analytics (high): Government and public sector accounts for about 15% of the sample, and TX-HHSC-DSHS-DFPS is among the most active named employers.
• Consulting and decision support (moderate): Consulting makes up about 10% of observed postings, and Bain & Company appears in the active-employer list, which favors candidates who can turn analysis into stakeholder-ready recommendations.
• Industrial and physical-world AI (moderate): Computer hardware development represents about 10% of sampled postings, and Rockwell Automation posted a local advanced analytics research role focused on Vision-Language-Action systems.

Where to focus: Prioritize business-facing analytics and decision-science roles in software, public sector, and consulting before chasing niche research-heavy AI titles.

Roles worth searching next

• Revenue Operations Analyst: RevOps Advisor appears among the active local employers, and the work uses the same SQL, dashboarding, and business-metrics foundation as many analytics roles.
• Program or Policy Analyst: Austin's market includes a meaningful government and public-sector slice, with TX-HHSC-DSHS-DFPS among the most active local employers.
• Analytics Consultant: Consulting represents about 10% of the sampled market, and Bain & Company is on the active-employer list, making client-facing analytics a plausible alternative lane.
• Business Operations Analyst: As generative AI takes over more repetitive reporting tasks, employers get more value from people who can interpret results and turn them into operating decisions.
• AI Governance or Model Risk Analyst: The market is moving from AI experimentation toward measurable value, controls, and governance, which creates room for adjacent analytical roles focused on validation and oversight.

What postings ask for

• Python (table_stakes | immediate): Python shows up in about 75% of sampled local postings, making it the clearest baseline filter in Austin. Who: Everyone in the category, especially entry-level and career-switching candidates.
• SQL (table_stakes | immediate): SQL appears in about 55% of sampled postings and is still the fastest way to prove you can work with production data rather than just models or notebooks. Who: All candidates, but especially analysts and BI-oriented applicants.
• Tableau and data visualization (differentiator | immediate): Tableau appears in about 20% of local postings, and data visualization in about 15%, which fits Austin's tilt toward decision support and stakeholder-facing work. Who: Entry-level, mid-career analysts, and career switchers trying to show business impact quickly.
• AWS and cloud analytics (premium | near-term): AWS appears in about 15% of sampled local postings, which is meaningful in a market with enterprise, software, and hardware-adjacent demand. Who: Mid-career candidates and switchers targeting enterprise, platform-adjacent, or applied AI teams.
• Machine learning and applied AI (premium | near-term): Machine learning appears in about 20% of local postings, and Austin's university pipeline is becoming more explicitly AI-oriented, including the August 2026 rename of UT's MS Business Analytics and AI program. Who: Mid-career analysts moving upmarket and candidates aiming at data science or advanced analytics titles.
• AI-assisted analysis with validation and interpretation (differentiator | immediate): Generative AI is automating pieces of SQL writing, reporting, dataset cleanup, and Python debugging, which pushes value toward validation, interpretation, and decision support rather than repetitive reporting. Who: Analysts, BI candidates, and career switchers who need to show they can work with AI rather than be replaced by it.
