Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Data Engineer' with no seniority modifier, but the 7+ year experience gates and the breadth of Teradata sub-product requirements clearly support a Senior-level classification.
SOC classification is a close call: the role involves significant ETL pipeline development and data architecture (15-1243) but also substantial application/process engineering with Ab Initio and scripting (15-1252). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because the dominant focus is on data platform design, Teradata ecosystem, and data integration architecture.
Jenkins, Artifactory, Git, and PCF appear only in the 'What You Will Be Doing' narrative stack description, not in the Required Skills section, so they are marked as preferred.
The '5+ years of scripting and automation experience' and '4+ years of experience with Enterprise Risk Data' requirements name no specific technology, so they are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
This is a 12-month contract engagement; no sponsorship is available per the posting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
