Why we read it this way (6)
The title is 'Lead Data Engineer' with no explicit seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 8+ years requirement and team-leadership scope support a Senior classification.
SOC code is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — data platform design, warehouse architecture, dbt modeling) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — CI/CD pipeline ownership, engineering team leadership). The primary day-to-day work is data platform architecture and data modeling, which tips toward 15-1243, but the CI/CD and software-engineering depth make 15-1252 a genuine runner-up.
Snowflake is listed as the primary warehouse with Redshift and BigQuery named as 'comparable MPP warehouse' alternatives in the requirements section.
CDC/replication (ingestion layer) is described as part of 'full-stack data platform judgment' expected of the candidate, but the JD frames it as a breadth requirement rather than a hard gate — treated as preferred.
AWS DMS, MySQL/Postgres, Looker/LookML, GitHub Actions, and LLM-facing data products all appear under the 'Nice to Have' section.
The role is hybrid (minimum 2 days/week in-office) in the greater NYC area — not fully remote.
