Why we read it this way (5)
No work location is specified in the posting — the CBSA/metro is unknown. The role appears to be US-based given the company (Waters Corporation, NYSE-listed, US HQ in Milford, MA) but no city or remote status is stated.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or equivalent experience' — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, this is treated as no hard degree gate.
The SAP components list (NetWeaver ABAP, BTP, CPI, Datasphere, CPQ, APO, IBP, GRC, GTS) appears under the 'Qualifications' / 'Demonstrated experience' section and is treated as a hard gate, though in practice a single candidate is unlikely to hold deep expertise in every component; hiring managers should expect to weigh breadth vs. depth.
Oracle database performance is mentioned in the qualifications narrative ('researching and solving technical problems related to SAP Basis and Oracle database performance') but is not called out as a standalone required skill elsewhere — listed here as preferred.
The SOC classification is a close call: the role is primarily SAP Basis administration (system operations, transport management, patching, security/authorizations) with a significant HANA DBA component. 15-1242 Database Administrators was chosen because HANA DB administration is explicitly central; 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators is the runner-up given the broader infrastructure/operations scope.
