Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is genuinely ambiguous between a Data Scientist (ML/modeling focus) and a Software Developer (Platform Engineering team, with emphasis on reliability, scalability, and observability). The title is not given, but the team context ('Platform Engineering') and the framing around design, development, reliability, and scalability lean toward software/ML engineering, while the required skills list is heavily ML/data-science oriented. Data Scientist (15-2051) was chosen as primary given the skills list; Software Developers (15-1252) is the close runner-up.
The ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) are listed together as a single bullet under Required Qualifications; they are genuinely interchangeable options for the same requirement and have been cross-listed in alternatives accordingly. Same treatment applied to the cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Vertex AI).
The salary range ($125,000–$170,000/year) is explicitly stated as applicable to Atlanta, GA only; compensation for other locations is not disclosed.
No total years of experience are stated anywhere in the posting.
The role requires at least 4 days per week in-office (hybrid); it is not fully remote.
Deep learning, NLP, computer vision, and statistical analysis are listed as required qualifications but name techniques/domains rather than specific named tools. They are included because the posting explicitly gates on them under Required Qualifications, even though they are broader than a single product.
