Why we read it this way (8)
The role requires 3 days per week onsite in Los Angeles; it is not fully remote.
Ad Tech / advertising technology experience is listed under a 'Must have' section, making it a hard gate despite appearing after the main Required Skills block.
Graph databases, vector databases, RAG, and agentic AI appear under the same 'Must have' section but are framed with 'Familiarity with' — indicating a lower bar than the other hard gates; treated as preferred accordingly.
Consulting/client-facing experience and experience collaborating with cloud professional services teams are listed under 'Must have' but describe work-style context rather than concrete named technologies, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role involves designing data pipelines and integration patterns, which overlaps with data engineering; however, the primary framing is architecture and governance, making 15-1243 the clear primary.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance, metadata management, exploratory data analysis.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
