Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists two salary ranges: $121,000–$242,000 for Denver, CO and $132,000–$264,000 for New York, NY. The primary location is Denver; the New York range is not reflected in the comp fields.
Degree requirement is effectively None: the JD offers three equivalent paths — a Bachelor's + 5 years, a Master's + 3 years, or 7 years of experience with no degree — so no specific degree is hard-gated.
The overall years minimum is set to 5, the lowest experience threshold across the three qualification options (Bachelor's + 5 years).
The role carries the 'Senior Manager' title and involves mentoring and team guidance, but the JD does not describe direct headcount management, hiring authority, or budget ownership — it reads more as a senior technical lead. The alt SOC (Computer and Information Systems Managers, 11-3021) is noted as a plausible runner-up given the managerial framing.
Visualization tools (Matplotlib, Plotly, Tableau, Power BI) are listed together in the 'What you'll bring' requirements section as interchangeable options; they are captured as one skill with alternatives.
Spark, Scala, R, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
WCAG 2.2 / accessibility knowledge is mentioned as a preferred background but names no concrete technology tool, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
