Why we read it this way (9)
The posting frames this as 'junior to mid-level' in the overview but the title says 'junior to mid-level Experimentation Data Scientist' — advertised seniority is set to Junior (the lower of the two stated levels) since the posting explicitly emphasizes it is NOT seeking a senior IC and targets someone early in their career.
The SOC is a close call between Data Scientists (15-2051) and Operations Research Analysts (15-2031): the role centers on A/B test design and statistical analysis rather than ML/modeling, which leans toward 15-2031, but the title and framing as 'Data Scientist' with Python/stats fundamentals tips it to 15-2051.
Tableau appears only in a narrative 'core tools' sentence in the Responsibilities section, not under Required qualifications, so it is marked preferred.
Excel and PowerPoint are listed under Required as part of 'Microsoft Office proficiency' alongside SQL/Python, so they are marked as hard gates despite being general productivity tools.
Optimizely is explicitly called 'nice to have' and the client states openness to training on it — listed under Preferred.
Degree requirement is set to None: the posting explicitly states 'equivalent relevant experience in lieu of a degree' is accepted in both the Required and Education sections.
The 1–3 years experience range is stated as 'approximately' — the overall years minimum is set to 1 (the lower bound).
This is a 6-month contract-to-hire engagement, classified as Contract.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
