Why we read it this way (6)
The job family is listed as 'Data Science Consulting', but the day-to-day work is heavily centered on public health data exchange, interoperability standards (HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA), and systems integration — making 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts a plausible alternative. 15-2051 Data Scientists was chosen as the primary code given the explicit AI/ML and analytics scope and the 'Data Science Consulting' job family label.
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting. The role requires up to 25% travel, suggesting it is primarily remote or at a client site, but the posting does not confirm fully remote work.
Clearance is listed as 'Ability to Obtain Public Trust' — this is a federal suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The 5-year minimum experience requirement is explicitly tied to serving in a 'Technical Lead role', not to any specific technology.
HL7 v2, CDA, and FHIR appear in both the required ('What You Will Need') and preferred ('What Would Be Nice To Have') sections. They are marked as required based on their presence in the hard-requirements section.
Generative AI appears only under 'What Would Be Nice To Have' and is therefore preferred.
