Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Senior Associate' is PwC's internal leveling term; mapped to Mid seniority because the hard gate is only 2 years of experience and the scope is team-level rather than org-wide.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in Computer Science or Data Processing/Analytics/Science is required, but explicitly allows substitution with additional years of specialized work experience — treated as a hard degree requirement since the substitution path is an exception, not the default.
The salary range shown ($55,000–$151,470) is the general US range; a separate Washington state range ($55,000–$187,000) is also stated but not captured in the comp fields, which reflect the primary posted range.
The posting is tagged both #LI-Remote and #LI-Hybrid, indicating the role may be available in either modality; remote=true is set to reflect that fully remote is explicitly offered.
All skills beyond the 2-year experience gate in data/AI/ML engineering appear under 'What Sets You Apart,' a preferred/nice-to-have section, and are marked accordingly.
The role sits at the intersection of AI/ML engineering and QA/test automation; 15-1253 (Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers) is noted as a plausible alternate classification given the emphasis on automated testing and governance controls.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data engineering.
