Why we read it this way (6)
The role is hybrid (not fully remote) — candidates must work from the Taylor, MI office at least three days per week; remote eligibility begins only after 30 days of employment.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry exposure is explicitly listed as preferred, not required.
Several required items ('Cross-Functional Collaboration', 'Strategic Thinking & Problem Solving', 'Business and Application Data Requirements Translation') are soft skills or methodologies rather than named technologies and are therefore not captured in the skills list.
The alternative occupation code 15-1251 (Computer Programmers) is not a strong fit; the closer runner-up would be 15-2051 (Data Scientists) given the ML/AI-readiness framing, but the dominant day-to-day work — enterprise data modeling, pipeline design, and architecture — aligns most clearly with 15-1243 Database Architects.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Semantic Modeling, Database Design.
