Why we read it this way (5)
The job description is unusually sparse on concrete technical requirements — no specific languages, frameworks, databases, or data pipeline tools are named beyond Linux/Windows systems administration. This makes SOC classification genuinely ambiguous: the title 'Production Data Engineer' and references to data delivery, storage, and development suggest 15-1243 (Database Architects / Data Engineers), but the emphasis on systems administration and 'hardware and software solutions' could also point to 15-1252 (Software Developers) or even 15-1244 (Network and Systems Administrators).
Linux and Windows are listed together as a single OR requirement under the qualifications section; Linux is captured as the primary skill with Windows as an alternative. The posting notes that enterprise server environment experience is 'a plus', so that aspect is preferred rather than required.
No experience level or years of experience are stated. The role is classified as Mid based on the general framing (independent delivery on a team, no explicit seniority label), but Junior is also plausible given the 'Growth' section's note that prior industry experience is not expected.
Location is inferred as the Philadelphia metro area (Bala Cynwyd, PA), where Susquehanna International Group (SIG) is headquartered, as no explicit location is stated in the posting.
