Why we read it this way (8)

This role is based in Tokyo, Japan (Nihonbashi office), with a hybrid arrangement requiring 3 days per week on-site. It is not a US-based position.

The posting is written primarily in Japanese. The role is titled 'Senior Data Engineer' on the Behavior team at Woven by Toyota.

The SOC classification is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — data architecture, pipeline design, lakehouse modeling) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — building scalable data pipelines and tooling in Python). The data architecture ownership and platform design responsibilities tipped the classification toward 15-1243.

Compensation is described only as 'industry-standard salary commensurate with experience' — no figures are provided.

The orchestration/transformation requirement lists 'dbt, Airflow, etc.' as examples under a required heading; dbt is listed as the primary with Airflow as an alternative, reflecting the 'or similar' framing. Both are genuinely interchangeable orchestration/transformation tools in this context.

Business-level Japanese proficiency is listed under the 'Nice to have' (歓迎条件) section.

Autonomous driving / robotics domain knowledge (kinematics, motion planning, perception, mapping) is listed under preferred qualifications only.

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.
