Why we read it this way (8)
The '10+ years' the overall years minimum is drawn from the Oracle-specific requirement ('10+ years experience administering Oracle databases'), which is also the most demanding role-level gate; the '5+ years architecting database solutions' is a secondary role-level signal consistent with Senior.
Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Fusion Middleware are listed together as a single requirement ('Oracle WebLogic/Fusion Middleware') — emitted as one skill with the alternative noted.
The DevOps platform requirement lists four named tools as examples ('Azure DevOps, GitLab, Atlassian Suite, Digital.ai') — emitted as one skill with alternatives, since the posting treats them as interchangeable options satisfying a single requirement.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is explicitly required; Security+ is parenthetically cited as an example of a qualifying cert but is not the only path, so it is captured under the broader certification requirement rather than as a separate skill.
Qlik Sense appears only under the 'Desired' section and is marked preferred accordingly.
The wide salary range ($103,800–$218,100) likely reflects CACI's standard band across multiple labor categories and geographic locations rather than a narrow target for this specific role.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
