Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Senior' but requires only 3+ years of experience in data pipeline work, which aligns more closely with a Mid-level band on a standard career ladder. Seniority is assessed as Mid accordingly.
The cloud platform requirement is written as 'Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, Databricks, Snowflake, or a similar cloud data platform' — a single gated capability with named alternatives. Microsoft Fabric is listed first and is the team's primary platform; the others are captured separately as preferred given the 'or similar' framing and their appearance in the preferred/context sections as well.
PySpark is listed parenthetically as 'preferred' within the Python requirement ('Python, PySpark preferred'), so it is marked as preferred rather than required.
The SOC is 15-1243 (Database Architects) given the primary focus on designing Lakehouse/Data Warehouse architectures, ETL/ELT pipelines, and data modeling. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a reasonable runner-up given the CI/CD, source control, and pipeline engineering emphasis.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as required but immediately qualified with 'or equivalent professional experience', so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
