How this was computed
Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-10-15. Skills are resolved against the Skillenai canonical taxonomy, so the same entity is counted whether a posting writes 'Python', 'Python 3', or 'python'. Role prevalence divides postings mentioning Technical pre-sales by all postings for each role in the same window, ranking roles with at least 20 postings. Role distribution divides each role’s Technical pre-sales postings by all Technical pre-sales postings, including postings without a role. Shares need not sum to 100% for the displayed roles. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills). An adjusted trend is not shown because comparable posting coverage is insufficient.
