Why we read it this way (5)
The posting is titled 'Senior Solution Architect' but the body also frames the role as a 'Databricks Data Engineer with a Solution Architect background' — the primary day-to-day work centers on designing and governing enterprise data pipelines and lakehouse architecture, which maps most closely to Database Architects (15-1243); Software Developers (15-1252) is a credible runner-up given the heavy IaC/DevOps/CI/CD engineering emphasis.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting; Cardinal Health is headquartered in Dublin, OH (Columbus metro). Remote status is unspecified — the posting does not indicate remote eligibility, so remote is set to false.
The '8–12 years of experience' and Bachelor's degree are both listed as 'preferred', not required — the degree requirement is set to None and the overall years minimum reflects the lower bound of the preferred range (8).
Terraform and Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs) appear together in the responsibilities section under IaC/DevOps adoption; Terraform is treated as a hard gate given the strong 'drives adoption' framing, while DABs is marked preferred as a more specific sub-tool.
Structured Streaming is called out in the responsibilities narrative rather than a formal requirements block, so it is marked preferred.
