Why we read it this way (10)
The posting explicitly requires the candidate to be located in Colombia — this is not a US-based role. The US-based flag is set to false accordingly, and no US metro is inferred. The caller's instruction to set remote=true has been applied.
The title 'Middle Data Engineer' is the company's own level framing equivalent to Mid-level; advertised seniority is treated as Mid.
Amazon Kinesis and Apache Airflow appear in the Requirements section but are introduced with 'Knowledge of' rather than the firmer language used for the AWS service hands-on requirements — they are treated as preferred. The distinction is a judgement call.
CloudFormation and AWS CDK are listed as interchangeable options ('CloudFormation or CDK') under the Infrastructure as Code requirement; CloudFormation is used as the primary name with CDK in alternatives.
AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Developer Associate certifications are explicitly called 'a plus' — listed as preferred.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, or a related technical field' with no equivalent-experience escape clause.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) is chosen as the primary code given the ETL/ELT pipeline and data warehouse focus; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the cloud engineering and coding emphasis.
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.
