Why we read it this way (6)
This role is located in Chennai, India (Tamil Nadu), not in the United States — US compensation and labor-market benchmarks do not apply.
The posting groups Databricks, Snowflake Workflows, and Apache Airflow together with a single '3-5 years' range; the same range is stated separately for Python and Spark. The overall years minimum is set to 3 (the lower bound of the stated range).
The role is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) given its focus on data pipeline and warehouse tooling (Databricks, Snowflake, Airflow), but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a reasonable alternative given the emphasis on Python/Spark development.
Pharmaceutical/Healthcare industry experience and quality/compliance environment experience are called out as requirements in the posting but name no specific technology or tool, so they are not captured as skills per extraction rules.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
