Two salary bands are listed: NY (New York) at $175,100–$236,900/yr and WA (Bellevue) at $159,200–$215,300/yr. The higher NY range is reported here; the Bellevue range is also a valid hiring location.
The Basic Qualifications gate on '5+ years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab)' — this is a single OR-grouped requirement. SQL and Python are listed as the primary named tools with the others as alternatives. The 4+ years of data scientist experience is used as the overall years minimum.
Statistical modeling (e.g. multinomial logistic regression) is explicitly required in Basic Qualifications but names no single canonical tool, so it is captured as a required skill under its general category.
Data visualization tools (QuickSight, Tableau, R Shiny) and data pipeline management appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
The alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is noted because the role also emphasizes causal inference, BI, and supply chain analytics alongside ML modeling.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data pipeline management.
