Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is levelled as 'Data Engineer III or Senior Data Engineer' — two distinct levels offered at hire. The minimum experience gate is 5+ years (Bachelor's) for the lower level, rising to 10+ years (Bachelor's) for the Senior level. Total experience minimum is set to 5 years (the lower gate); the Senior gate of 10 years applies only if hired at the higher level.
The role is posted across four metro locations (Atlanta GA, Detroit MI, Edison NJ, Dallas TX). Atlanta is listed first; the other metros are equally valid work sites. Salary ($130K–$170K/year) varies by level and location.
The posting offers 26 remote days per year but explicitly states the position is in-office/onsite; it is not a remote role.
Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Power BI, Tableau, CI/CD, and Git appear only under 'Desired Qualifications', so they are marked as preferred despite being central to the role's described work.
SQL and Python appear in the role description narrative with firm language ('Expert-level proficiency in SQL' is stated under Minimum Qualifications; Python is called out as a core requirement throughout), so both are marked as required.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on data modeling, semantic layers, and analytics engineering (pointing to 15-1243 Database Architects / Data Architects), but also has a strong BI/reporting delivery component (pointing to 15-2031). 15-1243 was chosen because designing and building enterprise data models and semantic layers is the primary deliverable.
