Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Lead BI & Data Platform Engineer' carries no standard seniority level word (Lead here reads as a functional descriptor, not a formal band), so advertised seniority is set to Unspecified; the 5+ years requirement and scope of ownership support a Senior classification.
The role sits at the boundary between database/data architecture (15-1243 — designing the warehouse, replication, and data models) and BI/reporting analysis (15-2031 — Power BI dashboards, analytics delivery). The primary emphasis on designing and building the SQL Server data warehouse and replication architecture tips it toward 15-1243, but the alt code reflects the strong BI/reporting component.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
The posting explicitly offers both in-office and fully remote options.
