Why we read it this way (5)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA/state fields are left blank. The role is assumed US-based given the no-visa-sponsorship statement.
All technical skills appear exclusively under a 'Preferred Qualifications' heading, so every skill is marked preferred rather than required.
The title 'Professional, Data Engineering' carries no explicit seniority level; the 2-year minimum and 'moderately complex' scope language support a Mid-level classification.
The role sits between 15-1243 (Database Architects — pipeline/warehouse building, ETL, data modeling) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — building data products, automated deployment pipelines, prototypes). Primary day-to-day work leans toward data pipeline and architecture design, so 15-1243 is the primary code with 15-1252 as the runner-up.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
