Why we read it this way (6)
The posting offers two equivalent education/experience paths: (1) Master's degree + 3 years of SQL Server DBA experience, or (2) Bachelor's degree + 5 years of relevant progressive experience including at least 3 years of SQL Server DBA experience. The minimum degree is effectively a Bachelor's, with the Master's path reducing the experience requirement.
The overall years minimum is set to 3 (the minimum under the MS path); the BS path requires 5 years total. The candidate pool spans both tracks.
The title is 'Senior DBA' but the minimum experience requirement (3 years under the MS path) is more consistent with a Mid-level role; advertised seniority and actual requirements diverge.
HIPAA, SOX, and GDPR are listed in the 'Utilize' duties line alongside concrete tools, suggesting compliance-domain familiarity is expected rather than purely incidental. They are treated as required given their explicit enumeration in the requirements-adjacent duties section.
The role requires travel to client locations within the US; it is not remote.
Salary is stated as a flat $149,000/year with no range.
