What employers actually ask for
Credentials named in the 41 postings we read, ranked by how many mentioned each one.
None. Across 41 postings, no certification or licence was named often enough to call it a requirement. For this role in this market, employers are hiring on demonstrated work rather than credentials — which means money spent on a certificate here is unlikely to be what gets you the interview.
What it pays
BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025. A different survey from the postings above, so the two do not share a sample.
Who was hiring
Employers with at least one matching posting in this sample.
Scale AI · Anthropic · Figma · Lyft · Robinhood · Alloy · Attentive · Databricks · Datadog · Gusto · MongoDB · Perplexity · Ramp · Rocket Money · Zocdoc
