Why we read it this way (9)

The role is titled 'Consulting Data Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; however, the scope — pre-sales engagement, mentoring peers, thought leadership, and working with Fortune 50 clients — clearly supports a Senior classification.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily about designing and architecting data platforms (15-1243 Database Architects), but the expectation to also build the systems, write streaming applications, and contribute software engineering skills introduces meaningful overlap with 15-1252 Software Developers.

Apache Kafka is listed as the primary required streaming technology; Neo4j, Splunk, and Azure Event Hub are listed as 'or similar' alternatives in the same requirement — captured as alternatives on the Kafka skill.

Kafka Streams, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink are listed together as streaming framework options; captured as a single skill with alternatives.

LogicMonitor, ServiceNow, and BigPanda appear in the role's narrative description of integration responsibilities rather than a formal requirements section, but they are concrete named tools central to the role's stated work and are included accordingly.

The traditional data warehousing requirement (Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server) is listed with 'and/or' alongside modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure); these are captured as separate skills since they represent distinct technology categories both expected of the candidate.

Infrastructure-as-code is mentioned in the 'Other skills' section as 'familiarity with deployment of infrastructure as code' without naming a specific tool; Terraform is included as a preferred skill as the most common IaC tool, but this is a judgment call given the vague framing.

The posting states up to 25% domestic and international travel is required.

Compensation is stated as $100,000–$140,000 annually and described as a 'reasonable estimate'; actual pay may vary by location and other factors. Variable incentive compensation (bonuses/commissions) is noted as possible but not included in the base range.
