Why we read it this way (9)
The role is listed under a staffing firm (US Tech Solutions) on a 12-month contract basis.
The posting requires candidates to be South Carolina residents; no relocation is offered. The role is described as 'Fully Remote with occasional onsite visits required.'
'Clienture' appears to be a CRM or department-specific platform; it is listed as a required integration target alongside AWS but is not a widely recognized product — the name may be a proprietary or misspelled tool name.
The highest stated experience requirement is 2 years (generative AI platforms and RAG/AI agents), which anchors the overall years minimum at 2. The role's scope — proof-of-concept evaluation, CoE support, architecture design — suggests mid-level seniority rather than junior.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends AI engineering (agents, RAG, architecture) with data science and analytics (dashboards, KPIs, monitoring). 15-2051 Data Scientists was chosen as the primary fit; 15-1299 is the runner-up given the AI engineering and architecture emphasis.
An undergraduate degree in computer science, data science, AI, or a related field is explicitly required; an advanced degree is listed as preferred only.
Skills listed under 'Preferred skills' (neural networks, transformers, NLP, image classification, time-series data, data tools) are marked as preferred. 'Background in a variety of programming languages' was omitted as it names no specific language.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted coding tools.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
