Some people in industry wearing a "data scientist" hat may be working with R. I worked with a few people in a for-profit megacorp who had developed a particular forecasting model in R -- that model ended up getting rewritten in Python to "productionise" it, but a few of the folks who developed the original R stuff came along for the journey.

Maybe another approach to searching could be to try popular R libraries with unusual/rare names as search keywords. searching for quoted things like "Python or R" might also find you a few candidate jobs.
