Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Data Scientist I' but the actual work — dashboards, BI reporting, ad hoc queries, and operational metrics — aligns more closely with Operations Research/BI Analyst (15-2031) than with statistical modeling or ML-focused Data Scientist work (15-2051); the SOC choice reflects the primary day-to-day duties.
Power BI and Tableau appear together in the required qualifications as interchangeable options ('Power BI, Tableau, or a similar BI platform'); they are captured as a single requirement with alternatives. Tableau is also listed separately under Preferred Qualifications, where it is called out on its own.
The 0–2 year experience range explicitly includes internships, co-ops, and academic projects, making this a genuine entry-level position; total experience minimum is treated as 0.
The broad salary range ($59,900–$113,800) reflects Boston Scientific's stated policy that hires are not typically made near either end of the range; actual compensation will depend on experience and location within the metro area.
Generative AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) appear in both required responsibilities and preferred qualifications; they are marked preferred because the qualifications section frames them as 'familiarity with' rather than a hard gate.
