SOC classification is a genuine toss-up: the role centers on building and maintaining data pipelines, Snowflake data models, and dbt transformation layers (15-1243 Database Architects / Data Engineers), but also writes substantial Python application code and CI/CD tooling (15-1252 Software Developers). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because the core deliverables are data models, ELT pipelines, and warehouse architecture.
The degree requirement ('Bachelor's degree or higher') is stated as a hard qualification with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
Cloud platform (AWS/Azure/GCP) is listed in the Qualifications block with an 'or equivalent' qualifier; AWS is used as the primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives.

Jira is mentioned only in the Ways of Working narrative section (not in Qualifications), so it is marked preferred.
