Why we read it this way (6)
The title says 'Junior' but the role requires 2–3 years of professional experience and independent delivery on ETL pipelines, SQL development, and cloud integrations — more consistent with a Mid-level band.
The Azure exposure requirement is stated as 'such as Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL Database, or Azure Storage' — a disjunctive gate on Azure familiarity broadly; Azure Data Factory is marked required (with the others as alternatives) to reflect this. Azure SQL Database is also separately listed as a required stack component in the 'Ideal Technical Stack' section and in the responsibilities, so it is retained as its own required skill.
The 'Ideal Technical Stack' section is framed as 'Candidates should have experience with many of the following' — this is aspirational/contextual rather than a hard gate, so technologies appearing only there (Power Query, DAX, JSON, REST APIs, Git) are marked preferred.
Azure DevOps is explicitly labeled 'Preferred' in the posting. Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Databricks are listed under 'Preferred Experience' with '(Exposure)' qualifiers — all three are marked preferred.
The SOC code 15-1243 (Database Architects) is chosen as the primary classification given the emphasis on building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehouse initiatives, and data modeling. 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is noted as a secondary possibility given the BI/reporting and analytics components, but pipeline/warehouse building is the dominant day-to-day work.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: a Bachelor's in CS, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline is explicitly listed under Required Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
