I think it heavily depends on your business domain, the nature of your development.

Having a basic understanding on math, like operations, statistics, and thinking mathematically is probably essential.

However, for me I work in an industry that heavily relies on math operations because it's the engineering sector. We also have to calculate a lot of things according to geometry and calculus. That being said, I don't need to know these things off by heart, but it makes working with these things much easier if you understand them.
