Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Data Architect' but the day-to-day responsibilities described are heavily DBA/operational in nature — administering Teradata environments, monitoring database health, managing user access, troubleshooting production incidents, and supporting ETL/batch processing. The architect-level duties (designing data warehouse architecture, logical data modeling, consulting on integration) are also present, making this a genuine hybrid. 15-1243 Database Architects is chosen as primary given the title and design/architecture framing; 15-1242 Database Administrators is the close runner-up given the operational depth described.
The posting lists multiple office locations (Pittsburgh PA, Strongsville OH, Birmingham AL, Dallas TX, Denver CO, Phoenix AZ). Pittsburgh is used as the primary CBSA; the role is explicitly in-office and not remote.
Teradata, SQL, ETL, and Data Warehousing appear in the core responsibilities and competencies sections and are treated as hard gates. Apache Hadoop and Machine Learning appear only in the 'Preferred Skills' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelors' but also notes 'in lieu of a degree, a comparable combination of education, job specific certification(s), and experience may be considered.' Because the JD lists a formal degree as the stated requirement (with equivalent experience as an alternative path), this is treated as a Bachelors requirement.
The salary range ($91,000–$202,800) is unusually wide, likely reflecting the multiple geographic markets covered by this single posting.
