Why we read it this way (8)
The role is restricted to candidates located in Arizona, North Carolina, or Texas, despite being fully remote — this limits the effective candidate pool to those three states.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD explicitly accepts a high school diploma/GED plus 12 years of experience as an alternative to a Bachelor's degree plus 8 years, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The overall years minimum is set to 8 (the lower of the two experience thresholds stated), reflecting the minimum path to qualification.
The role sits at the intersection of database administration and information security (data masking, encryption, compliance). SOC 15-1242 (Database Administrators) was chosen because the primary day-to-day work centers on configuring and managing database environments (Delphix, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2) and data masking/virtualization; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is a credible runner-up given the heavy encryption, PKI, and compliance focus.
The specific database platforms (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2) appear only in the Responsibilities section describing the work environment, not in the Requirements block — marked as preferred accordingly.
Python and PowerShell are listed together as interchangeable scripting options ('such as Python, PowerShell'); they are combined into one skill with PowerShell as an alternative. SQL is listed alongside them but is a distinct technology and emitted separately.
Regulatory frameworks (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR) and data classification/masking methods are required per the Requirements section but name no specific tool or platform, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
