Why we read it this way (4)
This role has clear people-management responsibilities (leading global data scientists and engineers, 2–5 years of prior management/lead experience required), making 11-3021 the primary classification. However, the posting also demands deep hands-on technical expertise (GCP, BigQuery, dbt, Python, ML), so 15-2051 Data Scientists is a plausible runner-up.
The posting is fully remote (home office) with no required commute to a Dexcom site, though a hybrid option may be offered to those who live nearby. No specific metro is listed.
The 8–12 year experience range maps to a minimum of 8 years; the 2–5 years of management experience is a separate gate captured in the overall years minimum at the role level.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered, so Bachelors is treated as a hard gate.
