Ran into this posting last night for a "data scientist"

Under requirements it has: "Python, deserves a line of its own"

Truth is, I am not not sure how many jobs labeled as "Big Data" and involve Python are on the market right now. I imagine there are plenty of jobs with different titles that use "Big Data" tools; although, they are not in a class of their own. For example, financial analyst, scientific, open gov data, GIS, and social media analytics, are some places you may find Python with Big Data but no jobs marketed as such.

> So to make a long story shorter, if your looking to use Python with big data on the job, it sounds like there is no shortage of this. However, I am just not sure if the job title will be something like DBA or "Big Data".  Although, I am sure that might also be the case but is probably the exception. Instead, you probably want to look along the lines of Data Scientist as a job title and pay special attention to mention of Python or tools available written in Python in the job listing.
