Why we read it this way (10)
The role is hybrid (onsite in Lakeland, FL + remote), not fully remote.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in CS or related field 'or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
The 8-year overall experience requirement is stated at the role level ('leading the design and development of enterprise class applications and solutions') and is captured as the overall years minimum. The per-technology year requirements (RDBMS: 8 yrs, EDW environment: 5 yrs, Data Architect: 4 yrs, data modeling: 4 yrs, EDW platform: 4 yrs, BI tools: 4 yrs, big data: 2 yrs, cloud: 2 yrs) are captured on the relevant skills.
The RDBMS requirement names SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2 as interchangeable examples; SQL Server is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
The EDW platform requirement names Teradata and Snowflake as interchangeable; Teradata is used as primary with Snowflake as an alternative. Snowflake also appears separately in the preferred/secondary section with additional depth expectations, so it is also listed as a standalone preferred skill.
The BI tools requirement (4 yrs, 2+ tools) names Tableau, Power BI, QlikView, and Greenplum as examples; Tableau is used as primary with the others as alternatives. Power BI also appears prominently in the preferred section and is listed as a standalone preferred skill.
Big data (2 yrs) names Apache Spark/Databricks and Hadoop as interchangeable; Apache Spark is primary with Databricks and Hadoop as alternatives. Both Databricks and Hadoop also appear as standalone preferred skills given the additional detail in the preferred section.
Cloud (2 yrs) names Azure, AWS, and GCP as interchangeable; Azure is primary with the others as alternatives.
All skills in the second half of the posting (from 'Strong understanding of data warehouse methodologies…' onward) appear in a run-on list without a clear 'Required' heading — they read as preferred/nice-to-have elaborations and are marked accordingly.
The alternative occupation code (15-2051 Data Scientists) is noted because the role has meaningful analytics, BI strategy, and big data modeling scope, though the primary day-to-day work is data architecture and warehouse design, making 15-1243 the stronger fit.
