Why we read it this way (6)

The posting lists both a salary range ($120,000–$129,000/year) and an hourly range ($75–$85/hour), framed as candidate's choice. The annual figure is captured in the compensation fields; the hourly alternative cannot be represented simultaneously.

Employment type is listed as 'Full-Time or Contract-to-Hire' — Full-Time is captured; the contract-to-hire option cannot be represented as a single value.

Python and PySpark are listed together with 'and/or' language in the requirements section; both are captured as separate required skills with each listed as an alternative for the other, since either alone may satisfy the requirement.

A Bachelor's degree is listed but explicitly qualified with 'or equivalent professional experience,' so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.

Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Jenkins appear only under the 'Bonus Points' section and are treated as preferred. Cloud-based data engineering exposure is also listed there but names no specific platform beyond Azure, which is captured as preferred.

SOC confidence is Medium: the role spans database architecture/design (15-1243) and ETL/data engineering pipeline work, with meaningful overlap into 15-1242 (DBA operations) and 15-2031 (data/reporting analytics). The primary emphasis on data modeling, ETL design, and database architecture tips toward 15-1243.
