Why we read it this way (7)
The role requires 5+ years total experience as a Data Scientist or similar, with 3+ years specifically in the healthcare industry — both stated as hard requirements.
Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) is explicitly labeled 'preferred' in the Requirements section despite appearing under the 'Must Have' heading; treated as preferred accordingly.
R, LLMs, and data pipelines are listed under 'Extra Credit' (a bonus/nice-to-have heading) and are marked preferred.
Pandas and Claude (or equivalent) appear only in the 'Tech Stack' narrative section, not in a gating requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided — only a note that pay depends on skills, experience, location, and business needs.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role blends data science (ML/LLM feature engineering, statistical analysis) with analytical/reporting work (dashboards, client presentations, cohort building), making 15-2031 a plausible runner-up.
