We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists a specific office location (WilmerHale has US offices including Washington DC, New York, Boston, and others) but does not name a city explicitly; the #L1-Hybrid tag suggests an in-office/hybrid arrangement. The CBSA is inferred as Washington DC, WilmerHale's primary/largest US office, but could differ.
The role sits between a business/systems analyst (process improvement, requirements gathering) and a software developer (design, build, deploy automations); the runner-up SOC 15-1211 reflects the strong analyst dimension.
The title carries no seniority level; the 3–5 year experience requirement and mention of providing oversight to junior team members support a Mid-level classification.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred,' not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Law firm experience is listed as preferred, not a hard gate.
'Machine learning' and 'artificial intelligence concepts' appear under Required Skills but are framed as 'knowledge of' — a softer gate than the Microsoft toolchain items; marked as preferred accordingly.
The salary range of $135,000–$168,000/year is stated explicitly in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): workflow automation.
