Why we read it this way (6)
The role blends SQL Server DBA work with infrastructure automation, making it a close call between 15-1242 (Database Administrators) and 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators); 15-1242 was chosen because database administration and optimization is the stated primary focus.
IIS administration is mentioned in the 'What You'll Do' section as a responsibility alongside application team partnership, so it is treated as a required skill despite not appearing in a standalone requirements list.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is stated without an 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
CI/CD, DevOps, .NET, Power BI, Power Automate, and PowerApps all appear under the 'Nice to Have' section.
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; seniority is inferred from the breadth and depth of the technical requirements (SQL Server, Azure, PowerShell, SSIS, DR/HA, on-call production support).
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
