Why we read it this way (9)
The role is fully remote (#LI-Remote tag) with no stated office location; no CBSA can be assigned.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience' — treated as no hard degree gate.
TOGAF certification is explicitly called 'required' in the Essential Skills section and is treated as a hard gate.
dbt, Azure Data Factory, and Spark are listed together as interchangeable ETL/ELT examples under the required skills section; dbt is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
The title says 'Principal' but the actual scope — a senior hands-on architecture role at a single company — aligns more with a Senior band; 'Principal' at most organizations of this type is a title convention rather than a true org-wide authority role.
The Databricks certification options (Azure Platform Architect or Data Engineer Professional) appear under Preferred Skills and are listed as alternatives to each other.
The posted salary range ($123,250–$224,250) is described as a broad band reflecting varied experience levels, not a precise offer.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Databricks Azure Platform Architect.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
