Why we read it this way (7)
This is a practice leadership role with direct people management (hiring, coaching, line management, succession planning) across an AI & Data team, making 11-3021 the primary SOC. The alt SOC 15-2051 reflects the deep hands-on AI/ML technical expertise also required.
The role can be located in Greensboro, NC; Broomfield, CO; or Troy, MI — three distinct metros. Greensboro, NC is listed first; hiring managers should note the role spans all three locations.
The seniority is assessed as Principal: this is an org-wide practice leadership role (building and scaling a practice, setting strategy, executive client engagement, defining skill matrices and training programs) that goes well beyond a typical Senior or Staff scope, despite the title carrying no explicit level word.
TensorFlow is listed as part of an 'e.g.' grouping ('Python ecosystem, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn') under a required qualifications section; PyTorch and Scikit-learn are captured as alternatives since the JD treats them as interchangeable examples of AI/ML frameworks.
MLflow and Kubeflow are listed together as MLOps/LLMOps tools in the required qualifications; they are treated as alternatives to each other since the JD groups them as examples of the same capability.
Cloud AI certifications are explicitly called out as 'a plus' and are therefore preferred, not required.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) appear in both the responsibilities narrative and the required qualifications. The qualifications list specific services (Azure AI, AWS SageMaker/Bedrock, Google Vertex AI), so Azure AI is the primary required skill with the others as alternatives. A separate preferred skill for general cloud awareness is also noted from the narrative context.
