What this job asks for AI summary
A software development lead role focused on building and modernizing data pipelines and fraud analytics systems within AWS and Databricks environments. Day-to-day work involves designing ETL solutions, integrating machine learning models into production workflows, and incorporating AI capabilities — primarily using Java, Python, Spring Boot, Snowflake, and Databricks. The role suits an experienced backend/data engineer comfortable in Agile settings who can obtain a US Public Trust clearance.

Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Software Development Lead Associate' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. The role requires 5 years with a Bachelor's or 3 years with a Master's and describes collaborative, team-oriented work without org-wide technical authority, placing actual seniority at Mid.
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Database Architects (15-1243) because the primary emphasis is on building and deploying ETL pipelines, backend applications, and ML-integrated production systems — not on data modeling or warehouse architecture per se. 15-1243 is noted as a plausible runner-up given the heavy Snowflake/Databricks data engineering focus.
The JD requires the ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance (not a national-security clearance), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Candidates must be US citizens or US residents for 3 of the last 5 years.
AI/ML workflow experience (operationalizing models, AI Agents, MCP Servers) is listed under Mandatory Qualifications but maps to no single canonical tool name; it is reflected in the Python requirement and the Databricks/AWS skills rather than emitted as a vague concept skill.
SAFe is listed as an alternative to Agile since the JD names both as a paired familiarity requirement ('Agile and SAFe methodologies').
Docker, Helm, Kubernetes, TestRail, R, and Databricks Genie all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Healthcare/Medicare/Medicaid domain knowledge and Responsible AI principles appear under Preferred Qualifications but name no specific technology or tool, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
