Why we read it this way (9)

The role title is 'Data Developer' with a focus on ingesting, storing, and distributing big data using Databricks, Spark, and ETL/pipeline patterns — placing it between 15-1243 (Database/Data Architects, pipeline/warehouse building) and 15-1252 (Software Developers, given the full SDLC ownership, unit testing, and service development responsibilities). 15-1243 was chosen as primary given the dominant data engineering framing.

The posting states a 5-day in-office schedule, so remote=false.

The salary range ($98,000–$169,050) is described as spanning all geographic markets from lowest to highest; actual offers will vary by location.

Python and Java are listed as interchangeable alternatives ('either Python or Java'); Python is named first and is also mentioned independently in the summary, so it is the primary skill with Java as an alternative.

Pipeline Orchestration and ETL/Data Warehousing concepts appear in the required section but name no specific tool, so they are not emitted as skills.

Delta Lake, Delta Tables, and Delta Live Tables are all Databricks Delta Lake features; consolidated under 'Delta Lake' as the canonical product name.

AKS, Kubernetes, and Helm are listed together as a single preferred item; Kubernetes is the canonical name with AKS and Helm noted as alternatives.

Kafka and Azure Event Hub are listed as a single preferred item ('Kafka and/or Azure Event Hub'); Kafka is primary with Azure Event Hub as an alternative.

The Bachelor's degree requirement lists specific fields (CS, MIS, Mathematics, Business Analytics, or STEM) but does not offer an 'or equivalent experience' escape, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
