The work also spans Python services built around the warehouse — a financial reporting API, PCI-scoped Airflow ETL pipelines, and a sensitive-data masking service running on AWS. Suited to engineers with a background in cloud infrastructure, Python, and regulated environments.

Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Canada (Ontario or British Columbia) — remote within those provinces only. Compensation is quoted in CAD. US-based benchmarks will not apply.
The SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the role centers on Snowflake data-platform engineering (schema migrations, RBAC, Terraform for warehouse resources, ETL pipelines) which points to 15-1243 Database Architects, but the breadth of application-layer work (Python services on AWS Lambda, REST APIs, Airflow pipelines, IaC) is squarely 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1243 was chosen as primary because the Snowflake platform ownership is the stated core mission.
Terraform is listed under required qualifications with a substitution qualifier ('or comparable'); it is treated as a hard gate on infrastructure-as-code capability, with the specific tool being interchangeable.
AWS is listed as required with 'or a comparable cloud'; Azure and GCP are noted as alternatives.
CI/CD is called out as a required environmental context ('Everything ships through modern CI/CD') and is reinforced throughout the responsibilities — treated as a hard gate even though no specific tool is mandated in the requirements section.
Snowflake, Apache Airflow, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodePipeline all appear under the 'Nice to haves' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The title 'Software Engineer II' maps to a Mid-level advertised seniority. The 2+ years requirement and scope (contributing alongside senior engineers, limited supervision) also support Mid.
