Why we read it this way (5)

The posting asks for 3–5 years of experience in a data science role, which aligns with a Mid-level practitioner on a standard career ladder despite the 'Senior' title — the experience band and scope are consistent with mid-career, not a senior/lead role at a larger organization.

The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's or Master's in a quantitative field but explicitly frames it as a preference alongside the experience requirement, and no degree is stated as a hard gate; the degree requirement is therefore set to None.

Data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, or related Python packages) appear in the required qualifications section with an 'or' framing — Tableau is captured as the primary with Power BI as an alternative; Python visualization libraries are implied but not named specifically.

ETL/data pipeline experience, unstructured data processing, cloud environments, and version control (GitHub) all appear under a clearly labeled 'Preferred candidates will also have experience with' section and are marked accordingly.

The flexible work policy explicitly states employees may work in-office, at home, or hybrid — remote is set to true. The agency is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, which is used as the metro.
