Why we read it this way (9)
The JD lists 5+ years of AI/ML model-building as the top-level experience gate; this is reflected in the overall years minimum of 5. The 3-year cloud/data-lake requirement is captured on the GCP skill.
GCP is stated as 'preferably GCP' within the required section — it is a hard gate on cloud experience, with GCP as the preferred platform; Azure and AWS are listed as alternatives.
Neural networks, NLP, LLMs, and computer vision are listed together under a single 'deep expertise' bullet in the required Analytical/Technical Skills section; each is emitted as a separate required skill since the JD presents them as a menu of disciplines the candidate should hold deep expertise in.
Matplotlib and Seaborn are joined by 'and/or' in the JD, so Seaborn is captured as an alternative to Matplotlib rather than a separate skill.
Master's degree is 'strongly preferred' rather than required; the hard floor is a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
AI agents (2+ years) and telecom experience appear under the explicit 'A plus if you have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
