Why we read it this way (5)
The SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily BI platform administration and data engineering (pipelines, governance, semantic models) rather than pure reporting/analysis (15-2031) or pure data architecture/ETL (15-1243). 15-2031 was chosen as the primary because the platform's end output is analytics and BI reporting; 15-1243 is a close runner-up given the emphasis on data integration pipelines and data architecture.
The title 'Associate Principal' is an unusual compound level. The advertised seniority is mapped to Principal (the explicit level in the title); the actual requirements (5+ years, senior-IC scope) support Senior.
Microsoft Purview is listed in the requirements section but with the qualifier 'highly valuable' rather than firm gating language, so it is treated as preferred.
Compensation is stated as 'approximately $135,000 USD' — a single approximate figure, captured as both min and max.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
