Why we read it this way (9)
The job posting explicitly states 'This is NOT a fully remote position,' but the caller has overridden this to remote=true for pool-sizing purposes.
The posting states candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain a security clearance in the future — this is not a current hard gate, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
No metro is inferred per caller instruction; the posting does not name a specific city.
SOC is Medium confidence: the role is primarily a data pipeline/infrastructure builder (15-1243 Database Architects) but has significant software engineering scope (15-1252) given the emphasis on building platforms and writing production code in Python/C++/Go.
The 4–6 year experience range maps to Mid seniority on the standard ladder; the title carries no explicit level word so the title states no level.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
'data pipelines' is listed as a required skill to capture the hard-gated requirement for experience building and operating real-time and batch data pipelines in production; no single canonical tool name covers this gate.
Streaming technologies (Kafka, Redpanda, RabbitMQ, Pulsar), cloud/data lake tools (AWS, S3, Parquet/ORC/Delta Lake), and orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) all appear under the 'Bonus Points' section and are marked preferred.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
