ATS keywords for a data scientist resume

The key ATS keywords for a data scientist resume are languages (Python, SQL, R), ML libraries (PyTorch, scikit-learn, TensorFlow), data tooling (Snowflake, Airflow, Spark, Databricks), and statistical methods (A/B testing, causal inference). Group them by category and back each with a quantified, business-outcome bullet.

The differentiator between a data scientist and a dashboard analyst is the statistics and experimentation vocabulary — make sure terms like causal inference, A/B testing, and time series appear if you genuinely use them.
