Why we read it this way (8)
The role is located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India (Primary Location: IN-TN-Chennai) — the US-based flag is set to false; US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The title 'CI Data Engineer' carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 6+ years of Python and 3+ years of Airflow requirements support a Senior classification.
The role sits between data pipeline/ETL architecture (15-1243) and general software development (15-1252); the emphasis on designing cloud-native data pipelines, ETL/ELT, and workflow orchestration tips it toward 15-1243, but the strong Python software engineering framing makes 15-1252 a credible alternative.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's degree' — Bachelor's is treated as the minimum hard requirement.
Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EC2 are listed explicitly under the required Technical Skills section and are captured as individual required skills within the broader AWS requirement.
Apache Spark, Databricks, and dbt appear under the Preferred Qualifications section and are marked accordingly.
AWS certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Developer) are listed as preferred but represent credentials rather than concrete technologies, so they are omitted from the skills list.
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.
