Why we read it this way (6)
The compensation range ($106,300–$221,100/yr) applies only to the listed states and DC (CA, CO, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NY, VT, VA, WA, DC) and the city of Cleveland; compensation in other locations may differ.
The clearance requirement is tiered: the posting states 'Active Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, or TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance required, depending on position.' The highest tier (TS/SCI) is used here as the ceiling gate; candidates with only a Secret clearance may qualify for some positions under this requisition.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD accepts 'a Bachelor's degree OR an additional 4 years of equivalent experience,' making the degree substitutable.
The role is described as 'Sr. Data Scientist / Analyst' with a mix of advanced modeling (predictive analytics, statistical methods) and BI/reporting (dashboards, metrics). The alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) reflects the reporting/optimization dimension, but the primary framing is data science.
No specific named tools, languages, or platforms (e.g., Python, R, SQL, Tableau) are called out anywhere in the posting; all skills extracted are capability-level requirements drawn from the explicit 'Must have' section and core responsibilities.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
