Why we read it this way (7)
This is a contract role (6+ months) placed by SPECTRAFORCE, a staffing agency. The posting explicitly states 'Position is offered by a no fee agency.'
The required education states 'Related Bachelor's degree or related work experience,' meaning equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — degree requirement is treated as None.
AB Initio is listed under 'Specific Tools/Languages Required' alongside Hadoop, Spark, Python, and SQL, making it a hard gate despite being a niche ETL platform. Hiring managers should be aware this may significantly constrain the candidate pool.
The role is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) given its primary focus on Hadoop/Spark big data pipeline design and development, but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a close runner-up given the general coding, API development, and SDLC responsibilities described.
Seniority is assessed as Mid despite 5+ years required: the posting explicitly describes 'moderately complex' projects, may require assistance debugging complex errors, and seeks review from others on estimates — all signals of a mid-level scope rather than a fully autonomous senior role.
Stored Procedures is captured under the SQL skill as it is a sub-feature of SQL rather than a distinct standalone technology.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
