Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the boundary between data/pipeline architecture (15-1243) and general software/data engineering (15-1252); the heavy emphasis on enterprise data warehouse design, dimensional modeling, and ELT/analytics engineering tips it toward 15-1243, but the broader platform-building framing makes 15-1252 a credible runner-up.
All AWS services (Redshift, S3, Glue, Athena, EMR, EC2, DynamoDB, Lambda, Redis) are listed together in a single required-qualifications bullet; each is treated as a hard gate on that capability.
Python is explicitly framed as 'a strong plus' in the qualifications section, so it is marked preferred despite appearing alongside the SQL requirement.
dbt and Git appear in the responsibilities section ('version-controlled workflows (e.g., Git, dbt)') and in a 'Familiarity with dbt Labs' qualifier — neither is stated as a hard gate, so both are marked preferred.
The role is hybrid (4 days/week in the NYC office); remote=false reflects that it cannot be done fully remotely.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
