Why we read it this way (6)

The role spans two posted salary bands: Level 4 ($152,000–$230,000) and Level 5 ($184,000–$287,500); the comp fields reflect the full combined range across both levels.

No specific work location is stated in the posting; Santa Clara, CA (NVIDIA HQ) is used as the best-guess metro. The role does not appear to be remote.

Snowflake and BigQuery are listed as parenthetical examples of data warehouses under the required qualifications section; they are treated as a single interchangeable hard gate on data warehouse experience. Similarly, SAP and Oracle are examples of ERP systems under the same required block.

The degree requirement lists several fields but explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily about building and architecting data pipelines and schemas (15-1243 Database Architects), but the heavy Python/software engineering emphasis and ML pipeline work create a plausible case for 15-1252 Software Developers.

Apache Airflow and dbt appear together as a single parenthetical example under 'Ways to stand out from the crowd' (the preferred/nice-to-have section), so they are treated as interchangeable preferred skills.
