SOC is a close call between 15-1243 Database Architects (Lakehouse architecture design, Medallion patterns, Unity Catalog governance, platform modernization) and 15-1242 Database Administrators (day-to-day cluster/workspace administration, patching, on-call support). The migration leadership and architecture responsibilities tip the primary classification to 15-1243.
No work location is specified in the posting; the role appears to be remote-eligible based on the absence of any office/location requirement.
Degree requirement is None — the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
