Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Full Stack Data Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3+ years of GCP experience and 2+ years of CI/CD experience point to a Mid-level band.
SOC classification is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — pipeline/warehouse building) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — the role also writes application code and builds cloud infrastructure). The primary emphasis on data pipeline design, data warehousing, and data governance tips it toward 15-1243, but the software engineering depth (TDD, CI/CD, IaC, code quality) makes 15-1252 a genuine runner-up.
SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fossa, and Cycode are listed together as interchangeable code-quality/vulnerability scanning tools under the Required section; SonarQube is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Python and SQL are listed together as preferred programming languages; SQL is captured as an alternative to Python rather than a separate skill since the posting frames them as interchangeable options.
The posting is tagged #LI-Hybrid, indicating a hybrid (not fully remote) work arrangement.
Visa sponsorship is explicitly not provided; candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
