Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA fields are left blank. Remote eligibility is also unstated — remote=false is a conservative default.
The Bachelor's degree requirement explicitly allows 'equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
PostgreSQL and MySQL appear together in the required Technical Expertise section as peer options; PostgreSQL is listed first and MySQL is captured as an alternative.
The role sits between 15-1243 (Database/Data Architects — pipeline and warehouse building, data modeling) and 15-1252 (Software Developers — the Python scripting, API integration, and CI/CD elements). 15-1243 was chosen because the dominant emphasis is on data architecture, lakehouse/warehouse design, ETL/ELT, and data modeling rather than general application development.
CI/CD, Data Factory, medallion architecture, Delta Lake, Spark, and Dataflow Gen2 all appear under the 'Preferred Tools and Knowledge' section and are marked accordingly.
Microsoft certifications are listed as preferred, not required; they are not surfaced as a skill since they are credentials rather than concrete technologies.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): medallion architecture.
