Which titles stay out of the count
The seat is spelled-out Data Scientist, Senior included; Data Analyst and Machine Learning Engineer stay outside the 839.
Five exclusive company records
Each number comes from one company's own exclusive homepage record: PayPal (www.paypal.com), Stripe (www.stripe.com), Coinbase (www.coinbase.com), Block (www.block.xyz), Robinhood (www.robinhood.com).
Methodology
Every figure is a count of current profiles on one named company's own exclusive homepage record — PayPal, Stripe, Coinbase, Block, Robinhood — never a rolled-up parent entity. The seat is spelled-out Data Scientist, with Senior counted in the same family. All numbers share one as-of date, 2026-10-08 PT. Source: Metix AI.
FAQ
- Why these five fintech companies and not other Data Scientist employers?
- Because each of the five — PayPal, Stripe, Coinbase, Block, Robinhood — has its own exclusive company homepage record, so its bench can be counted directly. Together they hold 839 current Data Scientist profiles across the five exclusive company homepage records as of 2026-10-08 PT.
- Does the total of 839 include Data Analyst or Machine Learning Engineer titles?
- No. The 839 is the sum of current Data Scientist profiles on the five exclusive company homepage records (561 + 99 + 64 + 64 + 51) as of 2026-10-08 PT; Data Analyst and Machine Learning Engineer titles are counted outside this seat.
- Why does PayPal sit at 561 while Robinhood sits at 51?
- The counting rule is identical for both: current Data Scientist profiles on each company's own exclusive homepage record as of 2026-10-08 PT. PayPal's record holds 561 and Robinhood's holds 51, so the gap reflects bench depth rather than a different scope.
- Can this same Data Scientist seat cut be remade for a company outside the published 839-person pack?
- Yes. The published data science peer pack stays fixed at 839 across the five exclusive homepage records as of 2026-10-08 PT, and the same spelled-out Data Scientist seat can be applied to another company record on request.
