Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Platform Support Data Engineer' but the day-to-day work centers on database administration, performance tuning, and operational support of database platforms, making 15-1242 the best fit; 15-1244 (Systems Administrators) is a plausible runner-up given the broad platform/application support scope.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Compensation is described only as a salary range plus bonus/incentive eligibility, but no figures are provided in the posting.
CI/CD and DevOps appear in the Required section framed as experience with 'automation solutions and supporting DevOps practices' and 'software releases, release engineering processes' — treated as hard gates even though no specific tool is named in that section; specific CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub, Bitbucket, Bamboo) appear only under Preferred.
Jira and Confluence are listed together under Preferred CI/CD tools; Confluence is captured as an alternative to Jira since they serve different functions but were grouped together in the posting.
Linux and Windows are listed together under Preferred as interchangeable OS administration environments.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): database administration.
