Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based in India (Remote/Hybrid) and is therefore outside the US — US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
This is an equity-only, no-salary founding team role during the bootstrapping phase. Compensation is described as equity with a 5-year vesting structure; cash salary will only be introduced after fundraising and revenue stabilization. Offered compensation is effectively $0 at time of posting.
The posting states '2–5+ years' of experience; the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the lower bound of the stated range).
The Technical Skills section is structured as a flat list without explicit 'Required' vs. 'Preferred' sub-headings, except that Python is explicitly called 'Mandatory', R and BigQuery are explicitly called 'Preferred', and the 'Bonus Skills' block (healthcare analytics, wearable data analysis, NLP, Computer Vision, MLOps, clinical research methodologies) is clearly secondary. All other named technologies in the Technical Skills list are treated as required given the 'Mandatory'/'Preferred' framing used for the exceptions.
The alternative occupation runner-up (15-1243 Database Architects) reflects the meaningful data engineering and pipeline-building responsibilities described, though the primary ML/modeling work clearly dominates.
The degree requirement is set to Bachelor's — the posting lists 'Bachelor's or Master's degree' as a qualification without offering an experience-in-lieu option.
Healthcare analytics and wearable data analysis appear under 'Bonus Skills' — they are preferred, not required, despite being highly relevant to the role.
Posting is for a part-time engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
