Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Database Administrator IV' but the day-to-day work is a genuine hybrid of database administration and software/application development (.NET WPF, ASP.NET MVC, XML/XSLT parsing, web application development). 15-1242 was chosen because the posting title and primary framing are DBA; 15-1252 Software Developers is a strong runner-up given the breadth of application development duties.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'Top Secret (with SCI eligibility)' — mapped to TopSecretSci as the role gates on TS with SCI eligibility.
A Bachelor's degree in computer science or data analytics is described as 'desired,' not required, and no equivalent-experience language is used — treated as preferred only, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The DOD-8140 / Security+ CE certification is listed under a 'Certifications' heading without explicit 'required' language; it is treated as preferred. However, given the cleared government-contract context, candidates should be aware this may be a practical gate.
C#, jQuery, JavaScript, JSON, Angular, ASP.NET MVC, WPF, and Agile appear in the job duties/narrative sections rather than a formal qualifications block, so they are marked preferred. The core RDBMS and XML/XSLT skills appear in the explicit Qualifications section and are marked required.
The 5+ years figure is tied specifically to relational database management systems experience in the Qualifications section and is used as the overall years minimum.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
