Why we read it this way (7)
This is a people-management role (Engineering Manager title, with explicit responsibilities for recruiting, hiring, mentoring, managing timelines and budgets, and supporting Staff-level engineers), so 11-3021 is the primary SOC. 15-2051 is listed as the runner-up given the deep ML/AI technical content.
The JD requires a Master's degree in Computer Science or related field; a Ph.D. is noted as a plus but not required.
The 8+ years figure is for applied machine learning experience; the JD also requires 3+ years in technical leadership or management roles within that span.
Python, Golang, and C++ are listed together as a single 'proficiency in programming languages such as' requirement — Python is used as the primary name with Golang and C++ as alternatives.
The role is described with flexible/remote/in-office work personas ('Work Personas') but no specific persona is assigned in the posting; remote=false is set conservatively given the San Diego headquarters context and the ambiguous language.
Compensation range of $139,700–$216,500/year is explicitly stated as base pay for this location, plus equity and variable compensation.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level. The actual scope (managing Staff+ engineers, 8+ years required, org-wide search quality ownership) supports a Senior band — long experience requirements and management scope at this level are typical Senior/Director at large tech companies, not Principal, as the role reports into a broader org rather than setting company-wide technical direction.
