Why we read it this way (10)
This role is posted by MWDN, a Ukrainian/global IT outstaffing firm; the client is US-based but the contractor engagement is international. The US-based flag is set to false because the primary work arrangement is an independent contractor/sole proprietorship outside the US, though the caller has declared the candidate pool national and remote=true.
The '2 years working with programmatic advertising and ad-tech data (GAM)' requirement is stated at the role level tied to a domain, not a single named tool; it is reflected as the years demanded on the Google Ad Manager skill as the closest named technology anchor, and also informs the overall years minimum of 5 (the broader 5-year data engineering gate).
Infrastructure-as-code is explicitly required; Terraform is the only named IaC tool and appears in the Technical Stack section. It is treated as a hard gate because the requirements section calls out 'cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code' as required, and Terraform is the sole named representative.
The Technical Stack section lists many tools (Flink, Dagster, Prefect, S3, GCS, Delta Lake, Parquet, Kubernetes, Scala) without gating language; these are marked preferred as stack context rather than hard requirements.
The 'Nice to Have' section (ML feature engineering, publisher monetization, differential privacy, CTV/OTT, identity resolution) is omitted from skills as it names no specific concrete technologies, only domain areas.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily pipeline/warehouse building (15-1243 Database Architects / Data Engineers) but has substantial software development characteristics (15-1252), making it a genuine close call.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
