Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits between 15-2031 (Operations Research/Analytics — SQL, dashboards, business strategy optimization) and 15-2051 (Data Scientists — ML techniques, statistical modeling, Python). The primary framing is analytics-driven business strategy and portfolio performance, with ML used as an input rather than as the core deliverable, so 15-2031 is the primary code.
The JD states 'Advanced proficiency in SQL, Python, or other scripting languages' — these are presented as interchangeable options in a single requirement. They are captured as a pair with alternatives rather than as two independent hard gates.
The degree requirement lists 'Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or a related quantitative field' with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so a bachelor's degree is treated as a hard gate.
Two compensation bands are given: $145,000–$205,000 for CA/WA/NY/NJ/CT and $128,000–$188,000 for all other US states. The lower bound of the broader national range ($128,000) and the upper bound of the higher-cost-of-living range ($205,000) are reported.
Experience range is stated as '2–5 years'; 2 years is used as the minimum per instructions.
