“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The role title is not stated in the posting; 'data engineering' is the described function. The SOC is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — pipeline/warehouse/data lake building) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — the engineering best practices, CI/CD, and platform-building emphasis). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because the core work centers on enterprise data platforms, data lake solutions, ELT/ETL, event streaming, and data integration.
Seniority is assessed as Mid despite the 4-year requirement: 4 years is solidly mid-level on the career ladder, the title carries no seniority modifier, and the responsibilities describe team-level delivery rather than org-wide technical direction.
Java and Scala are listed as interchangeable JVM language options ('Java or Scala'); Java is used as the primary name with Scala in alternatives.
CI/CD is mentioned only in the Responsibilities section ('continuous integration and continuous deployment methods'), not in the Requirements block, so it is marked as preferred.
The compensation range ($113,922–$222,300/year) is unusually wide, spanning what would typically be mid-to-principal levels; this may reflect internal grade banding across multiple levels under a single posting.
