Eligibility is explicitly restricted to H4 EAD holders only — a notable constraint not captured in structured fields.
Microsoft Fabric is the primary required platform; Databricks or other lakehouse platforms are listed as acceptable alternatives under 'Alternative Platform Experience', so Databricks is captured as an alternative to Microsoft Fabric for the core platform requirement, and also separately as a preferred standalone skill given its explicit mention.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
The role sits between 15-1243 (Database Architects, given the lakehouse/schema/pipeline design focus) and 15-1252 (Software Developers, given the Spark notebook coding and pipeline development work); 15-1243 was chosen as primary due to the dominant emphasis on data architecture, lakehouse design, and schema management.
