Why we read it this way (5)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role may be remote or on-site at an unstated location.
The posting is staffed through Insight Global (a staffing firm) on behalf of an unnamed end client; employment type (full-time, contract, etc.) is not stated.
The 7+ years figure is tied to 'analyzing and interpreting data with Redshift, Oracle, NoSQL etc.' — it is treated as both the role-level experience floor and the years demanded for that skill group. Oracle and NoSQL are listed as alternatives to Redshift since the JD presents them as interchangeable examples.
The AWS services (Redshift, S3, Glue, EMR, Kinesis, Firehose, Lambda, IAM) are all listed together in the requirements section and are treated as individual hard-gate skills. Redshift appears both in the data-platform requirement and the AWS services list; it is captured once under the data-platform skill.
The role is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) given the primary emphasis on data modeling, warehousing, and ETL pipeline construction. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible alternative given the software engineering best-practices requirement.
