Why we read it this way (8)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent demonstrated technical proficiency,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily a data/pipeline engineering role (15-1243 Database Architects) but carries a meaningful reporting and analytics component that could also point to 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts). The pipeline-building and medallion-architecture focus tips the balance to 15-1243.
MS SQL Server is listed as one of several acceptable databases ('MS SQL Server, Oracle, and/or Postgres') — Oracle and PostgreSQL are captured as alternatives.
Databricks is 'strongly preferred' within the required section; Microsoft Fabric and Snowflake are named as comparable alternatives.
Unity Catalog is mentioned in the required section only as a parenthetical example of governance tooling ('e.g., Unity Catalog'), so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard gate.
LLM/GenAI experience (RAG, vector databases, embeddings, prompt orchestration) appears under the Preferred / Nice-to-Have section.
Snowflake and Azure Synapse appear in both the required section (as Databricks alternatives) and the Preferred section (cloud data warehouse experience); they are emitted once as preferred to avoid double-counting.
Oil & Gas domain experience is listed as a nice-to-have but names no specific technology, so it is omitted per extraction rules.
