Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the boundary between data/pipeline engineering (15-1243 Database Architects) and general software/cloud engineering (15-1252 Software Developers). The primary day-to-day work — designing and building data ingestion/transformation pipelines, data modeling, and data platform architecture on Azure Databricks/ADF/Unity Catalog — tips it toward 15-1243, but the Pulumi IaC, CI/CD, and software engineering emphasis are meaningful secondary signals.
The job title is not stated explicitly; Vizient's internal career framework labels it 'Professional - Senior Associate (P3)', which maps to a Senior individual-contributor level. The advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified from the title alone.
Degree is listed as 'preferred', not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Pulumi is listed in the Qualifications section with firm language ('Strong experience using Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code (IaC)'), making it a hard gate. TypeScript is explicitly called 'preferred' in the same bullet and is therefore marked preferred.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting; Vizient is headquartered in Irving, TX (Dallas-Fort Worth CBSA). Remote status is unspecified and defaulted to false.
The compensation range ($102,400–$179,000/year) is stated as an estimate; the posting notes geographic factors may adjust it and hires typically fall below the top of the range. The role is also incentive eligible.
