Why we read it this way (7)
The posting states 'Degree preferred; 4 additional years of experience may substitute for a degree' — this is a preference, not a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The job description lists the work location as mostly remote with 1–2 onsite days per month in Reston, VA, and requires candidates to reside in DC, MD, or VA. Per caller instruction, this is treated as fully remote with a national candidate pool and no metro is recorded.
R appears in the mandatory skills section ('Python, R, and Spark/Scala') and is therefore treated as required, even though R also appears under Nice-to-Have as a statistical package. The mandatory section reference governs.
Spark and Scala are listed together as a paired requirement ('Spark/Scala'); they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same slot rather than two distinct required tools, consistent with how the JD frames them.
Healthcare analytics experience is listed under Nice-to-Have and is therefore preferred, despite the client being a federal healthcare insurance organization.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
