Why we read it this way (6)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; the CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role is US-based per the EEO footer referencing 'US & Puerto Rico only.'
The degree requirement is tiered: Bachelor's + 7 years, Master's + 6 years, or PhD + 2 years. The minimum hard gate is a Bachelor's degree with 7 years of experience; the overall years minimum is set to 7 accordingly.
No specific named technologies, frameworks, or tools (e.g., Python, PyTorch, LangChain, Azure OpenAI) are called out anywhere in the posting. Skills are extracted from the concrete AI/ML capabilities described in the responsibilities and qualifications sections (agentic AI, generative AI, RAG, NLP, predictive analytics, LLMs, semantic search, data pipelines, model monitoring, responsible AI, prompt engineering).
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) reflects that the role involves building and shipping production AI solutions and agents, not just analysis — a genuine secondary classification signal.
Pharmaceutical/life sciences industry background is listed as preferred, not a hard gate.
Compensation figures are referenced as existing but not disclosed in the posting text.
