Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Data Scientist 2' implies a leveled IC role, but carries no explicit seniority label (Junior/Senior/etc.) in the title itself, so the title states no level. The requirements (1–3 years experience, well-defined problems, assisting Senior Data Scientists) support a Mid-level classification.
The JD states a preferred Master's degree but explicitly notes that equivalent experience or a combination of coursework and experience is also accepted, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Experience range is stated as '1–3 years' in the body and '2–5 Years' in the job metadata footer; the lower bound of 1 year is used as the overall years minimum.
Spark/PySpark is listed as 'preferred' in the qualifications section. Cloud platforms, MLOps, and Generative AI are explicitly called out as 'a plus.'
Compensation figures shown are the national pay range ($66,836–$156,647/year); several state-specific ranges are also listed in the posting but are not captured here.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
