Why we read it this way (7)
The role is based in Europe (Kpler is a European company headquartered in Brussels/Paris); no specific city is mentioned in the posting, so the metro and the state are left blank and the US-based flag is set to false.
SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the role builds and maintains data pipelines, scrapers, and APIs (leaning 15-1243 Data/Pipeline Engineer), but also writes significant application-layer code including REST APIs and monitoring tooling (leaning 15-1252 Software Developers). 15-1243 was chosen as primary because the core deliverables — pipelines, scrapers, data coverage expansion, and a global LNG facility inventory — are data-architecture work.
The degree requirement states 'BSc/MSc in computer science or equivalent', which accepts equivalent experience; treated as no hard degree gate.
The experience range is stated as 'circa 3-5 years'; the overall years minimum is set to 3 (the lower bound).
FastAPI is explicitly called out as 'a plus' within the requirements section, so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard gate.
AWS/Terraform, Docker/Kubernetes, monitoring tools (Datadog, Grafana), and architecture knowledge all appear under the 'Desirable experience' heading and are marked preferred accordingly.
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.
