Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Database Architect' and the deliverables emphasize design documentation and data modeling, pointing to 15-1243 (Database Architects). However, the qualifications also describe administration tasks (backup, recovery, tuning), making 15-1242 (Database Administrators) a plausible alternative.
The clearance requirement is 'Public Trust / Moderate Risk' — this is a federal suitability determination, not a national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Remote work is listed as 'Contingent Upon Award,' meaning the remote option depends on contract award — the role may ultimately require on-site presence in Washington, D.C. or Kansas.
Cerner (Oracle Health) experience is explicitly described as 'strongly preferred' rather than required, so it is marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
