Why we read it this way (9)
The role is a people-management position (ML Engineering Manager) overseeing multiple data scientists and ML engineers, making 11-3021 the primary SOC. The alt code 15-2051 reflects the deep ML/data science technical content the manager is expected to contribute to directly.
Compensation is quoted across five geographic pay tiers ranging from $163,000–$245,000 (Tier 1) to $227,000–$341,000 (Tier 5). The figures reported here reflect the full span across all tiers; actual offer range depends on work location.
The degree requirement is stated as a minimum Bachelor's degree, but the JD explicitly accepts equivalent combinations of work experience, training, or military experience — however, the formal minimum stated is a Bachelor's, so it is captured as such.
Total years minimum is set to 8, reflecting the lowest threshold stated (Bachelor's + 8 years); Master's + 6 years and PhD + 3 years are alternative paths.
The role is US-based with tiered geographic pay but no single metro is specified; the posting appears to support remote work across the US given the multi-tier pay structure and no fixed office requirement stated.
Python, Java, Go, and C++ are listed as interchangeable coding language options under the requirements section; Python is named first and the others are captured as alternatives.
Presto is listed as an example SQL database ('SQL Databases like Presto') — it is a named tool in a requirements-section context and is treated as a hard gate on SQL/Presto-class database experience, with the 'like' qualifier indicating substitutability.
Spark is listed as an example data processing framework under requirements and is treated similarly as a hard gate on that capability.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
