Why we read it this way (7)
The role is genuinely ambiguous between 15-1243 (Database Architects) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). The primary day-to-day work is designing and building enterprise lakehouse platforms (Snowflake/Databricks), which leans toward data/pipeline architecture, but the heavy emphasis on shipping production code, POCs, and frameworks also fits Software Developers. 15-1243 was chosen as the primary code given the explicit architectural authority and platform-design framing.
Experience requirement is stated as '3-5 years' but the scope described — leading enterprise-scale architecture, influencing multiple teams, petabyte-scale operations — is consistent with a Senior-level role despite the relatively low stated minimum. The seniority assessment reflects the role's actual scope rather than the floor of the stated range.
dbt is explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the qualifications section, so it is marked as preferred.
Databricks Mosaic AI / Snowflake Cortex and the semantic layer tools appear under the qualifications list but are framed as 'experience with' rather than hard gates; they are marked as preferred accordingly.
The posting states a Bachelor's degree is 'required' and an advanced degree is 'preferred', so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
Shelton, CT falls within the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, CT CBSA (14860).
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Medallion architecture, Databricks AI/BI Genie.
