Why we read it this way (9)
The title 'Senior Security Engineer II' implies a leveled IC track; advertised seniority is Senior. The requirements (4+ years as trusted advisor, 4+ years coaching, 8 years domain experience without a degree) support a Senior classification.
Degree requirement: the JD states 'BS/BTech (or higher) … OR 8 years security domain experience without degree' — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The overall years minimum is set to 4 (the stated '4+ years of experience acting as a trusted advisor'), which is the most concrete role-level floor; the 8-year alternative applies only to candidates without a degree and is not a universal gate.
Cloud data platforms (Postgres, Snowflake, Databricks, AWS S3) appear together as illustrative examples of a single requirement; Postgres is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives. However, all four are also listed individually as preferred context — the required/preferred flag reflects the category requirement, not any single platform.
DSPM tooling (Wiz DSPM, BigID, Cyera, Bedrock Data) is listed under the Preferred section; marked accordingly.
ETL/ELT pipeline integration experience is listed under Preferred; marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted because the role blends data security engineering with broader security program work (incident response, policy, mentoring), making a pure Information Security Analyst classification a close but not perfect fit.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
