This is a 6-month W2 contract assignment at $60–$70/hr, with benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, retirement savings). The role is fully remote but restricted to candidates in EST or CST time zones.
SOC classification is a close call between 15-1243 (Database Architects — pipeline/warehouse design focus) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — Spark/distributed systems coding focus); the emphasis on data modeling, warehouse solutions, and ETL architecture tips it toward 15-1243.
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard degree requirement.
AWS Redshift is listed as the primary example of a cloud data warehouse; Snowflake and Teradata are explicitly named as acceptable alternatives in the same requirement.
Scala and Databricks are explicitly called out as preferred under the qualifications section.
