Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based in Gurgaon, India (Haryana), not in the United States — US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The posting title is 'Data & AI Specialist' with no explicit seniority level; however, the scope (end-to-end architecture design, reference architectures, advisory, PoCs, stakeholder enablement) clearly supports a Senior-level classification.
The SOC classification is a judgement call: the role spans data/AI architecture (15-1243) and applied AI/software development (15-1252). The emphasis on architecting scalable data and AI systems, defining reference architectures, and data governance tips the primary classification toward Database Architects (15-1243), with Software Developers (15-1252) as a close runner-up.
No total years of experience requirement is stated in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided.
'Data governance' appears in an advisory context ('Provide trusted advisory on data governance…') rather than a hard-requirements section, so it is marked as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance.
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.
