Why we read it this way (8)

Two work locations are offered: Boulder, CO and Atlanta, GA. Boulder is listed first; Atlanta (CBSA 12060) is an equally valid primary location.

The minimum qualification accepts a 'relevant PhD degree' as an alternative to the Master's + 3 years experience combination. The Master's is the stated floor for the non-PhD path, so the degree requirement is set to Masters; candidates with a PhD and less experience also qualify.

Python and R are presented as interchangeable examples ('e.g., Python, R, SQL') within the required qualifications block; R is captured as an alternative to Python. SQL is listed in the same block and is treated as a separate, independently required skill.

ML and AI experience is explicitly required in the minimum qualifications. Deeper applied ML/AI techniques appear again under preferred qualifications and are captured as preferred.

Statistical analysis is a hard gate per the minimum qualifications block. The preferred qualifications elaborate on 'strong foundation in statistical methodologies,' which is the same underlying requirement.

Data pipelines appear in the responsibilities section (not a qualifications block) and are marked preferred accordingly.

Compensation is stated as $138,000–$198,000/year plus a 15% bonus target and equity; the bonus and equity are not reflected in the min/max figures, which capture base salary only.

The posting is explicitly framed as 'Mid' experience level in the title/header, consistent with the 3-year minimum experience requirement.
