Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits between data pipeline/ETL engineering (15-1243) and general software development (15-1252); it is classified as 15-1243 because the primary deliverables are data pipelines, Snowflake/Databricks-based transformations, and data platform reliability rather than general application software.
Location is inferred as Denver, CO based on the Colorado-specific salary disclosure and closing-date law citation; the posting does not explicitly name a city.
Python is listed under 'Must have skills' with a parenthetical 'or willingness to learn quickly', which softens the specific-tool gate but does not remove it from the required section — it remains a hard gate on data scripting capability.
Snowflake and Databricks appear in the job narrative as the team's primary stack but are listed only under 'Nice to have skills', so they are marked preferred; the Snowflake/Databricks pairing is captured as alternatives on a single skill since the JD treats them interchangeably as cloud data platform examples.
CI/CD and Git appear separately in the 'Nice to have' section; CI/CD is captured as a single skill and Git as another, both preferred.
No minimum total years of experience are stated anywhere in the posting.
