My background is in mathematical programming and now I am a data scientist, so math is central to my work. Specifically, probability and statistics are very important for what I do. In the past I have also worked on numerical optimization so calculus and linear algebra were needed.
These days the most common algorithms are available in easy-to-use, optimized libraries. I am grateful to the developers of numpy, pandas, scipy, and scikit-learn every day.
I have a web developer friend who knows almost zero mathematics. It takes a variety of people with a diverse mix of skills to develop software.
