Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a close call: the role centers on designing and building enterprise data pipelines, dimensional models, and governed data products (15-1243 Database Architects), but the volume of Python/software engineering and CI/CD work also makes 15-1252 Software Developers a credible fit.
The posting lists skills across two separate 'Minimum Preferred Qualifications' sections (Education/Experience and Skills) without clearly distinguishing 'required' from 'preferred' in the skills block — the entire skills section is framed as 'Minimum Preferred Qualifications,' an ambiguous label. Skills were marked as required when they appeared with firm language ('strong,' 'expert proficiency,' 'demonstrated expertise') or were clearly central to the role's core responsibilities; tools mentioned more incidentally (Snowpark, CDC, BI platforms) were marked preferred.
Fivetran and Talend are listed as interchangeable ETL/ELT platform examples; they are captured as a single requirement with alternatives.
AWS (S3, Lambda, ECS, Glue) and Azure are listed as interchangeable cloud platform options; captured as a single requirement with Azure as the alternative.
Power BI, Sigma, and Tableau are listed together as BI/semantic reporting platforms under the skills section; captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
A Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
Experience with LIMS and regulated laboratory environments is noted as 'strongly preferred' in the posting — not a hard gate.
