How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $142,568 (middle half $111,775–$173,013).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The role sits between data pipeline operations (15-1243 Database Architects / Data Engineers) and general software development (15-1252); the primary day-to-day work — maintaining pipelines, tuning a warehouse, managing streaming infrastructure — leans toward data engineering, so 15-1243 was chosen with 15-1252 as the runner-up.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the posting asks for hands-on production experience and independent troubleshooting but names no seniority level, specifies no years of experience, and describes a scope consistent with an individual contributor owning a defined set of pipelines rather than setting cross-team technical direction.
Airflow and dbt are listed under 'Familiarity with … like Airflow or dbt' — framed as a single interchangeable familiarity requirement rather than two distinct hard gates, so they are captured as one preferred skill with alternatives.
CI/CD appears in the responsibilities section ('What you'll do'), not in the requirements section ('What we're looking for'), so it is treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
No compensation, degree, clearance, or employment-type information is provided in the posting.
