Why we read it this way (6)
The job title in the posting is 'Spark Engineer' / 'System Engineer (US L4)' with no explicit seniority level word in the public-facing title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The internal Capgemini level 'L4' typically maps to a mid-level individual contributor.
The compensation range of $62,000–$72,000/year is notably low for a senior data/platform engineer role, which further supports a Mid-level classification rather than Senior.
SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the role centers on building enterprise data pipeline infrastructure (ETL, Spark, distributed compute) which points to 15-1243 (Database Architects / Data Engineers), but the emphasis on API integrations, microservices, and greenfield platform development also fits 15-1252 (Software Developers). 15-1243 was chosen as primary because the core deliverable is a unified data pipeline execution platform.
Apache Spark, Spark Flow, REST APIs, Python, and microservices are listed under the 'Qualifications' / 'Key Responsibilities' sections with firm language and are treated as hard gates. Big data ecosystem tools (Hadoop, Hive, SQL, Kafka) and cloud platforms are framed as 'Familiarity with' and 'Exposure to', making them preferred.
Docker/Kubernetes and GitHub Actions/CI/CD appear only in the team overview narrative ('The project team is building…') rather than in the formal qualifications block, so they are treated as preferred/stack context.
The posting lists Atlanta, GA as the location, though the role description references Charlotte, US — Atlanta is used as it is the stated posting location.
