Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary work is building and owning shared data models and transformation logic (dbt, Snowflake), which maps most closely to 15-1243 Database Architects (data modeling, pipeline/warehouse design). However, the strong emphasis on metric definitions, analytics layer ownership, and enabling BI consumers also pulls toward 15-2031 Operations Research Analysts — listed as the runner-up.
dbt is listed as 'preferred' within the required qualifications section ('dbt preferred'), but the section itself is a hard-requirements block and the role is explicitly described as building and maintaining dbt models throughout the posting. It is treated as a required skill, with the 'preferred' qualifier meaning only that the specific tool is the first choice rather than an equivalent framework.
Snowflake, Google Analytics, and Salesforce appear under Preferred Qualifications and are listed as 'familiarity with' — not hard gates.
Tableau/Looker/Power BI appear under Preferred Qualifications as BI tool familiarity for optimizing extracts; all three are listed as interchangeable options.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
