Why we read it this way (4)

The Qualifications/Must-have section explicitly gates on SQL, Python, and lakehouse/medallion architecture experience on Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, or Azure. Databricks and AWS are listed as the primary named tools; Snowflake and Azure appear as named alternatives in the same requirement.

Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Delta Lake, MES, SCADA, ERP, and industrial protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus) appear only in the Job Overview narrative sections — not in the formal Qualifications/Must-have block — so they are treated as preferred rather than hard gates.

Manufacturing experience (8–10 years) is described as 'optional' in the Job Overview, so it is not treated as a hard requirement.

The role is classified as a Data/Database Architect (pipeline and lakehouse architecture focus) rather than a Software Developer, though the boundary is close given the Spark/Kafka pipeline engineering work described; alt SOC 15-1252 is noted.
