Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'AI Engineer (Data Scientist)' with no seniority level in the title; the level advertised in the title is therefore Unspecified. The 2+ years minimum and scope of responsibilities (production AI services, end-to-end delivery) support a Mid-level classification.
SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the posting emphasizes strong software engineering and production deployment (pointing toward 15-1252 Software Developers), but the title explicitly calls out 'Data Scientist' and the work includes ML modeling, prompt engineering, and model evaluation (pointing toward 15-2051 Data Scientists). 15-2051 was chosen as primary given the explicit title framing and ML/GenAI modeling focus; 15-1252 is the close runner-up.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … plus 2+ years' but also notes 'a combination of education and experience may meet qualifications.' Because the JD does not clearly accept equivalent experience in lieu of the degree itself, Bachelors is retained as the minimum hard requirement.
GCP is listed as the preferred cloud platform ('GCP preferred; Azure or AWS'), so it is named as the primary skill with Azure and AWS as alternatives. All three appear under the qualifications section, making this a hard gate on cloud platform experience generally.
Docker and Kubernetes are explicitly listed as 'a plus' (nice-to-have), as is experience with agentic workflows/multiagent architectures — all three are marked preferred.
LangChain/LangGraph appear both in the responsibilities (as examples) and in the qualifications section under 'Familiarity with LLM orchestration and agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, or similar concepts).' They are treated as a hard gate on LLM orchestration framework knowledge, with LangGraph as an alternative.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
