Why we read it this way (6)
This role is classified as a people-management position (11-3021) because it explicitly requires managing ~5 direct reports and owning a team roadmap; however, the posting also emphasizes substantial hands-on IC work (prompting, evaluations, error analysis), making 15-1299 a reasonable runner-up.
The degree requirement is set to Doctorate because the posting hard-gates on holding an MD or DO and having completed residency — a medical doctorate is a non-negotiable credential for this role.
The 3–5+ years figure refers to post-clinical tech-company experience; this is treated as the role-level experience minimum (3 years).
LLM prompting, evaluation design, and error analysis are listed as 'a strong plus' (preferred), not a hard gate.
The posting mentions 'some coding ability' as a required trait but names no specific language or framework, so no concrete technology skill is emitted for it.
Compensation of $275,000–$325,000/year is base only, explicitly exclusive of equity.
