Why we read it this way (7)

The role blends application/back-end development (.NET, SQL, stored procedures) with data-platform work (Microsoft Fabric, data modeling, SSIS), making it a genuine toss-up between Software Developers (15-1252) and Database Architects (15-1243); 15-1252 was chosen because the posting leads with application development and deployment lifecycle responsibilities.

Microsoft Fabric and Azure are listed under 'preferred' in the Requirements section.

SSIS is listed as 'preferred' in the Requirements section.

Python is listed as 'highly preferred' in the Requirements section — stronger than a typical nice-to-have but still not a hard gate.

The posting mentions hybrid and remote working models but does not indicate the role is fully remote; it is Chicago-based with flexible arrangements.

The 3+ years overall experience requirement is the binding the overall years minimum; the 2+ year SQL and .NET requirements are captured as per-skill years demanded.

Agile is listed in the Requirements block without a years qualifier and is treated as a hard gate on methodology familiarity.
