Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists a Seattle, WA location for candidates but also references a 'designated Carnival office in South Florida' for in-office days — the candidate location requirement (Seattle area) and the office location (South Florida) appear contradictory. The role is classified as in-office/hybrid, not fully remote.
The relational database requirement names Oracle, Snowflake, SQL Server, MySQL, Teradata, and Netezza as acceptable options; Oracle is used as the primary skill name with the others listed as alternatives.
Cloud experience is stated as 'minimum 3 years preferred' — the word 'preferred' introduces ambiguity, but it appears within the required experience block; treated as a hard gate given its placement and the explicit minimum year figure.
Batch scripting experience (5 years required) names no specific tool or language, so it is captured as a generic skill rather than a named technology — included because the JD states a hard minimum year requirement for it.
Snowflake certification is listed as a qualification requirement alongside proficiency; no specific certification name is given beyond 'Snowflake certification.'
