Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Chennai, India (Tamil Nadu); US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The job title is 'Data Engineer' but the posting title in the header is 'Data Engineer Lead' — the body describes leading a team of 10–12 data engineers and working with senior client stakeholders, which is a lead/senior IC scope. The Employee Status field explicitly says 'Individual Contributor', so this is classified as Senior rather than a people-management role.
Airflow appears in the job title but is not elaborated on in the body; it is treated as a hard requirement given its prominent placement in the title.
SQL Server and prior SQL Server DW migration experience are explicitly described as 'desirable', so they are marked preferred.
Banking/Operational Risk domain knowledge is also described as 'desirable' — it is a domain concept rather than a named technology and is therefore omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The SOC is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) given the primary focus on database/data warehouse migration strategy, patterns, and architecture; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the engineering and automation framing.
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.
