Why we read it this way (8)
The role is based in Phoenix AZ, Denver CO, or Grand Junction CO with work-from-home flexibility; Phoenix CBSA is used as the primary location since it is listed first and is the largest metro.
Compensation is stated as a monthly range ($8,500–$9,583/month), which annualizes to roughly $102,000–$115,000 but is reported here exactly as posted.
Python, SQL, PyData stack, Dask, and Prefect are listed together under 'Required Languages' and 'Required Libraries' in the Technical Skills section — all treated as hard gates.
Airflow appears only in the narrative duties section with the qualifier 'preferred,' so it is listed as preferred with Prefect as an alternative (the two are interchangeable orchestration tools).
HL7, FHIR, CDA, and healthcare clinical code sets (LOINC, SNOMED, CPT, ICD-10) are listed under Technical Skills without a 'preferred' qualifier; HL7 and FHIR are captured as hard gates. CDA and the clinical code sets are knowledge-level items that appear alongside them and are subsumed under the same healthcare interoperability context.
A Master's degree is explicitly preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily a data pipeline/warehouse builder (15-1243 Database Architects) but has meaningful software-development characteristics (Python coding, code-base management, SDLC) that could support 15-1252 Software Developers.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
