What this job asks for AI summary

A data engineering role focused on migrating data from public safety agencies' legacy systems into a modern platform. Day-to-day work covers building ETL pipelines, writing transformation and conversion scripts, performing schema mapping and data profiling, and validating end-to-end data deliveries. The role also involves direct client engagement — including on-site visits — and suits someone comfortable owning technical projects independently across SQL, Python, and cloud tooling.

Why we read it this way (12)

The role is titled 'Data Solutions Engineer II', where 'II' maps to Mid-level advertised seniority. The actual requirements (5+ years OR a degree, ETL/data conversion ownership, client-facing delivery) are consistent with a Mid-level band.

The posting lists four possible hub locations (Scottsdale AZ, Seattle WA, Boston MA, Atlanta GA) for in-office presence Tue–Fri; the role is otherwise remote. CBSA is set to Scottsdale (Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ) as the first-listed hub.

The degree requirement is 'Bachelor's OR coding boot camp graduate OR 5+ years of technical experience' — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None. The 5+ years is treated as the role-level experience floor (the overall years minimum).

SOC classification is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — ETL/schema mapping/data pipeline design) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — scripting, backend engineering, platform delivery). The primary day-to-day work centers on data conversion architecture, schema mapping, and pipeline design, which tips toward 15-1243, but the scripting and platform-delivery aspects make 15-1252 a credible runner-up.

SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL are listed together as a single database-systems requirement; SQL Server is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

JSON, XML, and YAML are listed together as data-format requirements; JSON is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

Postman (with Insomnia as an alternative) appears under a 'familiarity' framing ('Familiarity using API REST clients… such as Postman, Insomnia') — treated as preferred.

Backend engineering (Java, Scala, C++) is explicitly called 'a plus' — treated as preferred.

RMS and CAD experience is explicitly called 'a plus' — treated as preferred.

The CJIS background check is a compliance/screening gate, not a technical skill, and is not emitted as a skill.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
