Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role blends deep DBA/data-platform engineering (pipeline building, ETL, automation — pointing to 15-1243 Database Architects) with heavy operational/infrastructure administration (incident response, on-call, App Services, certificate management — pointing to 15-1244). The primary deliverable is building and owning the data operations stack with an automation-first mandate, which tips toward 15-1243, but 15-1244 is a credible runner-up.
The 'Required Skill Set' section lists PowerShell and/or Python together as a scripting proficiency gate; Python is captured as an alternative to PowerShell. T-SQL is separately called out in the 'You Have' block as a distinct required scripting language.
Azure Automation, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, and Event Grid are listed as a group under required experience ('at least one' of these tools); they are captured as a single required skill with alternatives rather than four separate hard gates.
The 'Extra Awesome' section is the source for all preferred skills (Terraform/Bicep, Azure Event Grid/Service Bus/Logic Apps for event-driven automation, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, KQL, Azure Key Vault, Azure Synapse Analytics/Databricks, Docker/AKS). These are explicitly framed as bonus qualifications.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting beyond a general reference to 'competitive compensation including on-call rotation compensation.'
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure Automation.
