Bioinformatics/computational-biology. Lots of smart people with bio and maths skills, but a severe shortage of software engineering skills.

Sadly these jobs dont pay well enough. Software engineers in this space tend to be paid as much as biologists
Ding! I interviewed in this area in 2018, I was shocked by how low the salary was.
Indeed. Besides, there are not so many offers in such sectors.
Second this, I worked on projects where "big data" meant 700MB

Lots of valuable work to be done, even in just taking standard bioinformatics algorithms parallelizing them for GPUs
