Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

The role is posted across 10 US metro areas (Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Jersey City, New York, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Arlington VA, Herndon VA); Dallas-Fort Worth is used as the representative CBSA. Compensation ranges vary by location: $131,300–$177,600/yr for most cities, and $144,500–$195,400/yr for New York and Jersey City.

The posting requires US citizenship ('This position requires that the candidate be a US citizen'), but does not gate on a formal security clearance.

The overall years minimum is set to 3 (the highest role-level floor stated: '3+ years of machine learning/statistical modeling…'). The '2+ years of cloud architecture' requirement is a separate, lower floor.

A Master's degree or above in STEM is listed under Preferred Qualifications only, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The role blends ML/data science work (model selection, fine-tuning, experiments, generative AI) with professional software engineering and cloud architecture; 15-2051 Data Scientists is the primary classification given the ML/GenAI modeling emphasis, with 15-1252 Software Developers as a close runner-up given the engineering depth required.

'GenAI benchmarking' and 'model fine-tuning' are named as distinct required competencies in the Basic Qualifications ('Experience in defining and creating benchmarks for assessing GenAI model performance' and selecting/fine-tuning models). These are listed as skills because they represent concrete, assessable technical capabilities called out explicitly as gates.

AWS-specific services (compute, storage, networking, databases, serverless, SageMaker) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): quantitative analysis, cloud cost optimization.
