Why we read it this way (8)
The role title 'Cloud Data Engineer II' uses a numeric level ('II') which maps to Mid-level advertised seniority; the 3-year minimum experience requirement also supports a Mid classification.
SOC classification is a close call: the role centers on designing and building cloud data pipelines, ELT frameworks, and data models (15-1243 Database Architects), but the volume of Python/PySpark coding and software delivery practices (CI/CD, IaC) could also support 15-1252 Software Developers.
BankUnited is headquartered in Miami Lakes, FL; the posting notes preference for candidates within BankUnited's footprint (primarily South Florida) but does not specify a single office location. Metro set to Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL.
A Bachelor's degree is listed, but the posting explicitly states 'Equivalent combination of education and relevant experience may be considered,' so the degree requirement is treated as None.
CI/CD practices and workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Step Functions) appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly. Git/GitHub/Jenkins/GitHub Actions are grouped as alternatives since the JD presents them as interchangeable CI/CD tool examples.
Hadoop, Spark (as a big-data technology), and Kafka appear only under 'Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities' with 'familiarity with' language — treated as preferred. PySpark is separately required under the core qualifications.
AWS Glue, Step Functions, Redshift, Athena, and DynamoDB are mentioned in the duties/responsibilities narrative as stack context rather than in the explicit requirements section; they are not emitted as standalone required skills. The hard gate is on AWS broadly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
