Why we read it this way (6)
The posting does not specify a work location city beyond WBD's corporate identity; Los Angeles is inferred as the most likely base given WBD's primary US headquarters there. The role may be hybrid or on-site — remote is not stated.
The '8+ years' experience requirement is stated at the role level (data science broadly); the '2+ years' GenAI figure is a separate sub-requirement and is captured on the LLMs skill.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the JD explicitly accepts MS or greater and uses 'or related quantitative discipline,' with no hard minimum degree gate — degree requirement is treated as None.
Enterprise AI platforms (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Databricks Model Serving, Snowflake Cortex) appear in the qualifications section but are framed as 'experience working with… or equivalent,' suggesting familiarity rather than a hard gate on any single platform; marked as preferred.
Multimodal AI and agentic workflows are explicitly called 'a plus' in the qualifications section.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) reflects the significant ML engineering and productionization scope of the role, though the primary day-to-day work is clearly data science and applied AI modeling.
