Why we read it this way (9)
The posting is explicitly targeted at Latin America candidates and is a nearshore/remote engagement for a non-US company (CodeRoad). The US-based flag is set to false accordingly; the caller's instruction to set remote=true and omit a metro has been followed.
The title reads 'Mid-to-Senior', which is treated as a Mid advertised level (the lower of the two named bands); the actual requirements (5+ years, architectural ownership, design leadership, performance tuning) support a Senior classification.
SOC is Medium-confidence: the role is primarily pipeline/warehouse architecture (15-1243 Database Architects), but the heavy Python/Lambda/Terraform coding and software-engineering framing make 15-1252 Software Developers a credible runner-up.
Power BI appears only in the responsibilities narrative ('prepare curated datasets for Power BI') rather than in the Requirements block, so it is marked preferred.
AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude) are listed under Soft Skills in the Requirements section but framed as 'comfort utilizing' rather than hard proficiency gates; they are captured as a single preferred skill with Claude as an alternative.
AWS certification (DEA-C01) and CDC/near-real-time experience are listed under 'Nice to Have' and are marked preferred.
Compensation is described only as 'Competitive USD compensation' with no figures provided.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
