Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $106,921 (middle half $81,361–$138,439). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on Data Vault 2.0 modeling and pipeline architecture (15-1243 Database Architects) but also involves substantial pipeline development code in Python/Airflow/ADF, which pulls toward 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1243 was chosen because the primary deliverable is the data model and integration architecture.

VaultSpeed is the single hardest gate in the posting — the JD explicitly states Databricks experience 'is not a substitute for required VaultSpeed expertise.'

Apache Airflow and Astronomer are listed as interchangeable ('Astronomer or Apache Airflow') throughout the posting; emitted as one skill with Astronomer as an alternative.

PySpark is listed alongside Apache Spark in the preferred section; emitted as one skill with PySpark as an alternative.

The bachelor's degree is explicitly preferred, not required, and the posting states equivalent professional experience will be considered — degree requirement is therefore None.

This is a contract-to-hire (W2) engagement; the $75–$85/hr rate is the W2 hourly rate as stated.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
