Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not specified in the posting; this is a VA/OIT government contract role (IETSS), likely in the Washington DC metro area or potentially remote, but no explicit location or remote policy is stated.
The role blends DBA operations (backup/recovery, performance tuning, maintenance) with data engineering/architecture work (ETL pipeline development, data warehouse design, SSIS). The alt SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) reflects this overlap.
Degree requirement: the JD states a Bachelor's or Master's is 'required' but immediately allows substitution via equivalent experience or certifications, or 8 years of additional relevant experience — treated as no hard degree gate.
TOAD for SQL Server and SSMS are listed together as alternatives for the same database management tool requirement.
Power Automate, Microsoft Access, and NoSQL appear under the 'Desired Qualifications' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
A current Moderate Background Investigation (MBI) and VA network access are listed as a plus, not a hard gate — no clearance level is formally required.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): database backup and recovery, TOAD for SQL Server.
