The role is classified as Data Scientists (15-2051) given its primary focus on ML/AI research, modeling, and publication — but it has a strong software development component (implementing models in Python/PyTorch), making 15-1252 a plausible alternative.
PyTorch and TensorFlow are listed as interchangeable options ('TensorFlow or PyTorch') in the requirements section; PyTorch is used as the primary name with TensorFlow in alternatives.
Deep learning is listed as a required conceptual and practical skill; while it is not a named tool, it is the explicit core competency gating this role and is retained as a required skill.
Knowledge of audio, video, or text processing is explicitly described as 'desirable' in the requirements section, so those domain skills are marked preferred.
The salary range ($138,000–$170,000/year) is stated for the Atlanta area specifically; the posting notes it can vary for other locations.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated; a Ph.D. is the hard degree gate.
