Why we read it this way (5)
The role is a genuine hybrid of backend software engineering and data engineering (ETL pipelines, Kafka stream processing, Redshift, Databricks). The primary day-to-day work leans toward building and shipping backend services and data systems, so 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen; 15-1243 Database Architects is the close runner-up given the heavy data-pipeline and database-architecture scope.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience', so no hard degree gate applies.
Redshift and Databricks appear in the Accountabilities section as part of the ETL/data pipeline work; they are listed under requirements-adjacent context. Redshift is marked required as it appears in the core accountabilities alongside Airflow and Parquet, which are explicitly required. Databricks is marked preferred because it is explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the Requirements section.
AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, or similar) are listed as a hard requirement; Claude is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
The role is fully remote within the United States; no specific metro or state is identified.
