Why we read it this way (9)
The role is a consulting/client-facing data engineering position with no fixed office location stated; employees may work remotely when compatible with client needs but must be available onsite as requested — remote is not guaranteed, so remote=false.
SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the role centers on designing and building data pipelines, warehouses, and lakes (pointing to 15-1243 Database Architects / Data Engineers), but also involves substantial general software development in Python/Java and cloud infrastructure work (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because pipeline/warehouse design and ETL orchestration are the explicit core deliverables.
The ETL/orchestration requirement lists many named tools (Azure Data Factory, SSIS, Informatica, Alteryx, Ab Initio, Pentaho, Talend, Matillion) as interchangeable alternatives for 'at least one' — all captured under a single skill entry.
The database/SQL requirement lists PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Aurora, Presto, and BigQuery as interchangeable examples; these are captured as alternatives to PostgreSQL.
The programming language requirement lists Python, Java, R, C/C#/C++ and Shell as interchangeable; Python is used as the primary with the rest as alternatives.
DevOps tools (git, Jenkins, CI/CD, Jira) are listed under the main qualifications block. Git and Jira are version control / project tracking tools; CI/CD is a distinct pipeline capability. Git is emitted as the primary with Jenkins and Jira as alternatives; CI/CD is emitted separately as it represents a meaningfully different skill.
Cloud certification is explicitly called 'a plus' — listed as preferred.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
The $90,000–$200,000 range is stated as base pay; the wide band reflects varying seniority levels and geographic locations across CapTech's consulting practice.
