Why we read it this way (7)
The role has two listed work locations — Kirkland, WA and Sunnyvale, CA (Santa Clara County CBSA 41940). The CBSA reported here is Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA (42660) because Washington state compensation disclosure law is cited and Kirkland is listed first; a Sunnyvale-based hire would fall under a different metro.
The posting title says 'Senior' but Google's own framing labels it 'Mid Experience' in the header. The actual requirements (5 years software development, 3 years testing/launch, 1 year design) and responsibilities (designing scalable pipelines, data governance, cross-functional partnership) are consistent with a Senior-level role; the 'Mid' label appears to be Google's internal leveling descriptor rather than a seniority claim about the role.
The primary day-to-day work is building data infrastructure — batch/streaming pipelines, warehousing, schema design, data governance — which maps most closely to 15-1243 (Database Architects). However, the role also involves substantial general software engineering (orchestration, log processing, experimentation pipelines), making 15-1252 (Software Developers) a credible alternative.
The minimum qualifications require a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent practical experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Compensation is $174,000–$253,000/year plus a 15% bonus target and equity; the bonus and equity are noted separately and not included in the min/max figures.
The skills listed under minimum qualifications are intentionally broad (programming languages, testing, design/architecture) with no specific technologies named. The responsibilities section names pipeline and warehousing concepts but no specific tools (e.g., no Spark, Beam, BigQuery, Dataflow named explicitly), so no tool-level skills could be extracted.
Ignored 6 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): software development, software testing/maintenance/launch, software design and architecture, schema design, data governance, data structures and algorithms.
