Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists three work locations — Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; and Raleigh, NC — and explicitly states no remote work. The CBSA is set to Atlanta as the first-listed city; Charlotte (CBSA 16740) and Raleigh (CBSA 39580) are equally valid work sites.
The experience requirement is stated two ways: '7+ years' in the Required Skills section and '6–8+ years' in the Experience Requirements section. The overall years minimum is set to 6, the lower bound of the explicit range.
IBM Q Replication (QREP) is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Required Skills section, so it is marked as preferred.
The bachelor's degree is stated as 'preferred, or equivalent professional experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-required.
The alt SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) is noted because the role includes design and migration architecture work alongside traditional DBA operations, though day-to-day administration is the primary function.
