Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists 7–10 years of experience; 7 is used as the minimum. The role is contract-to-hire, placed here as Contract.
Oracle and SQL Server are called out with 'strong expertise' language in the qualifications block and are clear hard gates. Snowflake and Azure appear in the same qualifications block ('experience with cloud database platforms such as Snowflake and Azure') and are treated as required despite the 'such as' qualifier — alternatives are not populated because both platforms are named explicitly as the required stack.
Azure cloud solutions are separately called out as 'preferred' in the qualifications, but Azure itself (as the database platform) is already required; no duplicate preferred skill is emitted.
Exposure to enterprise infrastructure and global IT environments is listed as preferred but names no specific technology, so it is omitted per the generic-concept rule.
The alternative occupation 15-1243 (Database Architects) is noted because the role includes database design collaboration and technology evaluations, though the primary day-to-day work is clearly DBA operations.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
