Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Data Platform Architect' carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 10+ years requirement and executive-facing scope support a Senior classification; the role does not demonstrate genuine org-wide, multi-team technical authority that would warrant Staff or Principal.
SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) is the best fit given the primary focus on designing end-to-end data platform architecture, lakehouse environments, data contracts, and governance. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible runner-up given the streaming/batch platform engineering and AI/ML systems depth required.
Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery are presented as interchangeable lakehouse options ('Snowflake / Databricks / BigQuery') in the requirements section, so they are captured as a single skill with alternatives.
Longitudinal claims dataset experience (Komodo, Truveta, HealthVerity, Optum, IQVIA) is listed under a secondary 'nice to have' style block ('Hands-on experience with at least one major longitudinal claims dataset') — while it reads as a strong preference, it is separated from the core required skills and listed alongside other clearly preferred items, so it is treated as preferred.
Conversational AI (Cresta, Observe.AI) is explicitly listed in the secondary/preferred portion of the skills section alongside other 'nice to have' items.
The Datavant skill captures the tokenization/patient identity resolution tooling requirement; 'patient identity resolution' is retained as a separate skill because it represents the broader capability (deterministic + probabilistic), while Datavant is the named tool.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Employment type is not stated; the posting is placed through Insight Global (a staffing firm), which could imply contract, but the JD does not specify — left as Unspecified.
