Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Database Developer' and the job family is listed as 'Databases and Data Warehousing / Database Architect', but the day-to-day work spans both data architecture/modeling (15-1243) and Python-heavy data engineering/pipeline development (15-1252) — classified as 15-1243 given the explicit 'Database Architect' job function label and the strong emphasis on data modeling, schema design, and warehousing, with 15-1252 as a close runner-up.
Public Trust is listed as a security requirement ('ability to obtain'), but it is not a US government security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
AWS and Azure are both named as required environments; AWS is listed as the primary skill with Azure as an alternative since the JD treats them as a combined environment rather than specifying one as primary.
dbt and Airflow appear under a 'plus' qualifier ('is a plus') within the Required Skills section — treated as preferred despite the section heading.
The JD states 'Pay Type Salary' but provides no compensation figures.
7+ years of overall experience in data engineering/architecture is the stated role-level minimum; 6+ years of Python is a named-technology gate captured on the Python skill.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
