Why we read it this way (7)
The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's or Master's … or equivalent relevant experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Total experience is stated as '5–8 years of data science experience'; minimum of 5 years is used for the overall years minimum.
The ML framework requirement names scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, and PyTorch as interchangeable examples of a single 'machine learning frameworks' requirement; all four are captured as alternatives on one skill.
Cloud deployment is framed as a single requirement with GCP AI Platform/Vertex AI and AWS SageMaker as named alternatives.
LLM frameworks are explicitly called 'a plus' in the JD, so they are marked preferred.
The role is hybrid (3 days/week in Atlanta); it is not fully remote.
The alt SOC (15-1243) is a distant runner-up; the role is clearly a data science/ML modeling position, not a data architecture role. Confidence is High for 15-2051.
