Why we read it this way (5)
The role is a formal immigration-style job posting (note '#LI-DNI' and the rigid 'one year of experience must include' phrasing), which constrains how requirements are stated. The 4-year total experience requirement and 1-year sub-requirements are taken directly from the Job Requirements section.
Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the formal Job Requirements block, so they are treated as preferred/contextual rather than hard gates.
The role sits at the boundary between data/pipeline engineering (15-1243) and general software development (15-1252); the dominant focus on a multi-hundred-terabyte data lake, Snowflake, ingestion pipelines, and schema design tips it toward 15-1243, but the API and front-end data-access work adds meaningful software-development scope.
Compensation is stated as a single fixed figure ($162,552/year), so min and max are set to the same value.
'Design and development of enterprise-level automation test platform' appears in the formal requirements block but names no specific tool or technology, so it is not emitted as a skill per extraction rules.
