Why we read it this way (5)
Degree requirement is set to None because the posting requires candidates to be *pursuing* a Master's degree, not to already hold one — equivalent to a degree-in-progress rather than a completed credential.
The preferred qualifications section is blank in the posting (the heading appears but no items are listed), so no preferred skills could be extracted.
Python and Scikit-learn are listed together under a single requirement ('Python, SciKit Learn, or other machine learning platforms'); Python is treated as a standalone required skill given its broader role, while Scikit-learn is captured with 'other ML platforms' noted as an open-ended alternative.
Cloud platform experience is mentioned only in narrative context ('Learn new techniques within cloud-based platforms') with no specific platform named, so no cloud skill was emitted.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
