Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is a close call: the role centers on architecting and administering the Databricks platform (data pipelines, MLOps, Unity Catalog governance), which maps best to Database Architects (15-1243); however, the MLOps, CI/CD, and ML-serving responsibilities also pull toward Software Developers (15-1252).
The 5-year experience requirement is explicitly tied to Databricks Account and Workspace Administration, so it is captured both as the years demanded on the Databricks skill and as the overall years minimum at the role level.
Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD appear only in the narrative responsibilities section (not under the formal Qualifications block), so they are marked preferred.
Azure VNET Injection, the Databricks Platform Administrator Certification, and the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate certification all appear under the explicit 'Preferred Qualifications' heading.
The role requires the ability to obtain a Public Trust / Suitability determination (a federal suitability check, not a formal US security clearance), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The posting states 'Hybrid Role – Must Be Located in Atlanta, GA', so remote is false.
