Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (5)

All skills are drawn from the single 'DESIRED SKILLS' section, which is the only requirements block in the posting. Despite the heading saying 'desired', it is the sole qualifications section and uses firm language ('expertise in', 'strong background in', 'experience with'), so all listed technologies are treated as hard gates.

Python and PySpark are listed together as ETL options alongside SSIS; they are treated as separate skills given they are distinct tools, but each lists the other as an alternative since the posting frames them interchangeably.

Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Jenkins are presented as interchangeable DevOps tool options — Azure DevOps is the primary with the others listed as alternatives.

The role sits at the boundary between 15-1243 Database Architects (data modeling, ETL pipeline design, database development) and 15-1252 Software Developers (Python/PySpark pipeline coding, Agile delivery). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because database design, data modeling, stored procedures, and ETL are the dominant day-to-day activities.

No compensation, degree requirement, or employment type is stated in the posting.
