Why we read it this way (6)
The role title explicitly states 'Data Engineer II (Mid-Level)', making the advertised level unambiguous. The 4–6 years of experience requirement and scope (mentoring juniors, contributing to architecture discussions but not owning them) are consistent with a Mid-level band.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on building ETL/ELT pipelines, data models, and cloud data platform architecture (pointing to 15-1243 Database Architects), but also involves substantial Python/PySpark framework development and pipeline coding that could support 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1243 was chosen as primary because data modeling, warehouse design, and pipeline architecture are the dominant day-to-day outputs.
The bachelor's degree requirement is a hard gate — the JD lists it under Required Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
Delta Lake and PySpark appear only under Preferred Qualifications despite being mentioned in the responsibilities narrative; they are treated as preferred per the section heading.
Healthcare industry experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is therefore not a hard gate.
The posting explicitly states no remote, hybrid, or relocation assistance — fully onsite in Houston is a firm requirement.
