The posting lists three distinct work locations with separate salary bands: Jersey City, NJ ($153,400–$207,500), Nashville, TN ($132,500–$179,200), and Bellevue, WA ($136,000–$184,000). The compensation range above spans the full spread across all three locations. The CBSA is set to Jersey City/New York as the highest-paying anchor, but the role may be filled at any of the three sites.
The title 'Data Scientist II' maps to a Mid-level band; the 3+ years experience requirement is consistent with that level.
Python is listed in both the required qualifications (as a scripting language example) and again in preferred qualifications. It is treated as required given its placement in the Basic Qualifications section; the preferred mention of Perl is captured as an alternative.
The alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is noted because the role has a strong transportation network optimization and forecasting component, though the ML/statistical modeling emphasis makes 15-2051 the better primary fit.
