Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists two different salary ranges: '$86,800–$173,000' appears in the body under 'Compensation' and '$127,100–$198,575/Yr.' appears in the formal 'Posted Salary Range' field. The formal posted range is used here as it is the authoritative field; the body figure may reflect a different level or a typo.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role spans data science/AI-ML modeling (15-2051) and database architecture/data engineering (15-1243) roughly equally. The AI/ML integration, advanced analytics, and data science language tipped the primary classification to 15-2051, with 15-1243 as the close runner-up.
Palantir Foundry is called out as currently in use by the client and relevant to AI integration responsibilities, but it appears in the narrative responsibilities section rather than a hard-requirements block.
The desired qualifications section lists several telecom-specific tools (InfoVista Planet, MapInfo, ArcGIS, Tableau, Power BI, Power Automate, SharePoint, XCAL, Rohde & Schwarz tools) — all treated as preferred.
Degree requirement: the JD states 'Bachelor's degree' as the baseline but explicitly allows substitution with an Associate's + 2 years, a Master's + 7 years, or a Ph.D. + 5 years. Because equivalent experience paths are offered, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors as the stated minimum formal credential, though the substitution options mean a strict bachelor's gate is not enforced.
The role requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust (not a security clearance), and US Citizenship is required. These are not a formal security clearance gate, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Remote/hybrid status is described as subject to change based on Noblis and/or government requirements; the role is not advertised as fully remote.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): API development, data governance, geospatial analysis.
