AI experience is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting and is marked as preferred accordingly.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily data validation and QA testing (15-1253), but the heavy SQL/data-analysis component could also support 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts).
