Why we read it this way (8)

No work location or city is specified in the posting; the role appears to be remote or client-site-based across engagements for a consulting firm (Cognify Analytics). CBSA and state fields are left blank accordingly.

The title 'Architect (Senior/Specialist level)' explicitly frames this as a senior-level role; seniority is assessed as Senior given the 6–9 year experience range and scope — the requirements do not support Staff or Principal despite the architectural authority framing, which is typical for consulting firm architect titles.

SOC code 15-1243 (Database Architects) is the closest fit given the primary focus on enterprise data platform and lakehouse architecture, data modeling, and pipeline design. However, the heavy hands-on engineering emphasis (Python, PySpark, pipeline building) creates genuine overlap with 15-1252 (Software Developers), hence the alternate code.

Python, SQL, and lakehouse platform experience are explicitly called out as 'Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable)' with a hard rejection statement. PySpark and Delta Lake appear in the same must-do section and are framed as mandatory hands-on requirements throughout.

dbt, Airflow/Dagster, Spark, Kafka, and Fivetran/Airbyte appear under 'What We're Looking For' with 'Strong knowledge' framing — treated as required given the mandatory-requirements section placement.

Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is listed under 'What We're Looking For' as a required capability; all three are interchangeable alternatives.

Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables, MLflow, Mosaic AI, Flink, and LLMs all appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' or as emerging technologies to evaluate — marked as preferred.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.
