Why we read it this way (9)
This is a VP-level people-management role with org-wide scope across AI engineering, data science, and product — mapped to 11-3021. The alt code 15-2051 reflects the deep hands-on AI/ML technical depth explicitly required alongside the management responsibilities.
The title 'Vice President of AI' carries no standard seniority band word, but the org-wide scope, 15+ year requirement, and executive-level mandate clearly place this at the Principal band.
The JD states a Bachelor's degree in CS, Engineering, Data Science, or related field as a hard requirement; an advanced degree is listed as preferred (not required), so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
Compensation of $226,300–$260,000 is stated as 'target cash compensation' covering base salary, variable commission, and annual bonus — not base salary alone.
The role is hybrid (1–3 days/week in Bellevue, WA or New York, NY office) for local candidates; fully remote is available for candidates not near an office. Remote is set to false because the primary/default expectation for local candidates is hybrid office attendance.
Skills such as 'AI/ML product development', 'retrieval-augmented generation', 'cloud-native AI platforms', and 'advertising technology' are named at a category level in the JD; no specific vendor platforms (e.g. AWS SageMaker, Azure ML) are called out by name.
Agentic AI systems and autonomous workflows appear in both the required qualifications and preferred sections; the required section references 'deep understanding' of agentic systems, while the preferred section adds production deployment experience — both are captured under a single skill entry marked required.
MLOps and cloud-native AI platforms appear only under 'Preferred Skills' and are marked accordingly.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML product development, cloud-native AI platforms.
