Why we read it this way (5)
SOC code is a close call: the role is primarily Snowflake platform administration (DBA-style operations, security, performance tuning, access management), which maps best to 15-1242 Database Administrators, but the scope of enterprise data platform work and ETL/ELT enablement also has overlap with 15-1243 Database Architects.
The cloud platform requirement (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is listed under required qualifications with a substitution qualifier — one of the three must be held, so AWS is listed as the primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
ETL/ELT technologies and orchestration platforms are required but no specific tool is named; no concrete tool skill is emitted beyond the category.
The 'These will help you stand out' section is treated as preferred/nice-to-have throughout, covering SnowPro certifications, cloud certifications, Oracle DBA certification, P&C Insurance experience, and migration/automation experience.
