Why we read it this way (8)
The role is listed across multiple California metro areas (San Diego, Long Beach, Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Oakland/SF Bay Area) with a hybrid 2x/week onsite requirement; San Diego is listed first and used as the primary CBSA, but the candidate pool effectively spans several California metros.
Employment type is Contract-to-Hire with a six-month contract term; the 'to-hire' conversion is implied but not guaranteed.
Azure is listed as 'preferred' within the qualifications block, but the surrounding context — naming specific Azure services (ADLS, Synapse, Data Factory) as required expertise — makes cloud platform experience a hard gate. Azure is marked required; the 'preferred' qualifier is treated as indicating Azure over other clouds, not that cloud experience itself is optional.
The modern data stack tools (dbt, Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, Tidal) are listed together as a single 'such as' requirement. dbt is emitted as the primary skill with alternatives; Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, and Tidal are also emitted individually as preferred since they appear as named stack tools the team uses.
Bitbucket and GitHub are listed as interchangeable CI/CD tool examples ('such as Bitbucket or GitHub'); Bitbucket is the primary with GitHub as an alternative.
Healthcare/regulated-environment experience and Epic ecosystem exposure are explicitly called out as preferred/a plus and are marked accordingly.
Degree requirement is None — the JD states 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.'
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
