Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is for a hybrid role (1–2 days/week in-office); it is not fully remote. Elevance Health's headquarters is in Indianapolis, IN, but the posting explicitly lists California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and Washington State as the salary-range locations, and states that alternate locations within commuting distance of any office may be considered — so the precise primary CBSA is ambiguous. Indianapolis is used as the best single-location proxy for the employer's HQ.
The minimum requirement states 'BS/BA in information technology or related field OR any combination of education and experience providing an equivalent background,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
All named technologies appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Skills, Capabilities and Experiences' heading, including those described as 'strongly preferred.' Because the section is explicitly labeled Preferred, all skills are marked as preferred rather than required.
The role sits at the boundary between data/lakehouse architecture (15-1243) and software development (15-1252); the emphasis on platform architecture, data pipeline engineering, and lakehouse design patterns makes 15-1243 the primary classification, with 15-1252 as a close runner-up.
Security certifications (CISSP, ISSAP, ISSEP) and cloud/data-engineering certifications (Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data, Databricks) are listed as preferred but name no specific technology tool beyond what is already captured; they are omitted from the skills list as they are credentials rather than concrete technologies.
The salary range ($127,200–$228,960/year) applies specifically to the listed states (CA, IL, MA, NJ, NY, VA, WA); compensation in other locations may differ.
