Why we read it this way (9)
The role sits at the intersection of data engineering (pipeline/ETL, Spark, Kafka, Airflow) and data science (ML modeling, analytics), making SOC classification genuinely ambiguous. The primary day-to-day emphasis on building and deploying data pipelines and transformations tips the classification toward 15-1243 (Database Architects), with 15-2051 (Data Scientists) as a close runner-up given the ML and analytical modeling responsibilities.
Degree requirement is marked None because the JD accepts an Associate's degree plus 7 years as an alternative to a Bachelor's plus 5 years — neither path hard-requires a Bachelor's.
Total years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound of the two qualifying paths).
