Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $122,874 (middle half $87,544–$162,374). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (5)

Location is not specified in the posting — no city, state, or remote designation is given. The CBSA and state fields have been left blank accordingly.

The degree requirement lists several fields but also implies a 'related field' is acceptable; no specific degree level (Bachelor's, Master's) is stated, so the degree requirement is set to None.

A/B testing is called out as a key responsibility rather than a stated requirement, so it is marked as preferred.

The alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is noted because the role has a strong quantitative modeling and optimization flavor focused on pricing strategy, though the explicit 'Data Scientist' title and ML/statistics emphasis make 15-2051 the better fit.

Compensation may include a bonus in addition to the stated base salary range.
