Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Data Engineer III' maps to a Senior-level individual contributor; the 'III' suffix is treated as an explicit Senior-level claim for advertised seniority.
The role sits at the intersection of data engineering (ETL, pipelines, transformation) and database architecture/migration (Sybase ASE, DB2, Oracle, schema migration), making the SOC classification genuinely ambiguous between 15-1243 (Database Architects) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). The heavy emphasis on database platform migration, data lineage, and RDBMS administration tips the balance toward 15-1243.
Sybase ASE is listed as the primary named platform under Required Qualifications with IBM DB2 (LUW) and Oracle as explicit alternatives ('or' phrasing); all three are captured via the alternatives field on a single skill.
Informatica is listed under Required Qualifications with the qualifier 'especially', which signals a strong preference within the ETL tools requirement — treated as a hard gate.
Data reconciliation and performance/volume testing appear only under Desired Qualifications and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Bank of America explicitly states an in-office culture; the role is not remote.
