The degree requirement is listed as 'Preferred' (Bachelor's or Master's); the Minimum Education field accepts equivalent experience, so no formal degree is hard-required.
The posted compensation range ($110,000–$240,000/year) is unusually wide, likely spanning individual contributor through manager levels or reflecting geographic pay bands for a national remote role.
