How pay is distributed

Most employers in this selection do not publish a figure, so the range below is Alion's own estimate, derived from 35 comparable listings priced by role, level and country. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $120K and $146K a year, with a median of $127K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.

The market right now

Alion currently lists 43 open Data Scientist Salary in Sydney from 23 companies. 12 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 22 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.

Where the work is

The largest concentrations of these roles are United States (1) and Colombia (1). 42% of the listings are fully remote and a further 37% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.

Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.

What employers ask for

Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Python (37), SQL (35), AWS (20), CI/CD (15), Snowflake (15), AI Agents (15), Azure (14), and ETL/ELT (13). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
