Why we read it this way (8)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on Data Vault 2.0 modeling and pipeline architecture (15-1243 Database Architects) but also involves substantial pipeline development code in Python/Airflow/ADF, which pulls toward 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1243 was chosen because the primary deliverable is the data model and integration architecture.
VaultSpeed is the single hardest gate in the posting — the JD explicitly states Databricks experience 'is not a substitute for required VaultSpeed expertise.'
Apache Airflow and Astronomer are listed as interchangeable ('Astronomer or Apache Airflow') throughout the posting; emitted as one skill with Astronomer as an alternative.
PySpark is listed alongside Apache Spark in the preferred section; emitted as one skill with PySpark as an alternative.
The bachelor's degree is explicitly preferred, not required, and the posting states equivalent professional experience will be considered — degree requirement is therefore None.
This is a contract-to-hire (W2) engagement; the $75–$85/hr rate is the W2 hourly rate as stated.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
