What this job asks for AI summary
A Senior Database Engineer role supporting an intelligence-community program at a DoD-focused small business near Baltimore/Washington. The position centers on Oracle database administration — installation, patching, and high-availability configuration — running on Linux. A TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is a hard requirement, making this suited to cleared database professionals with a decade of relevant experience.

Why we read it this way (6)
The posting titles the role 'Senior Database Engineer' but frames the experience requirement using 'SWE' (Software Engineer) language — '10 years as a SWE' — which is common boilerplate in DoD/intel contract postings and does not change the primary classification; the day-to-day work described is database administration/engineering.
A Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly allows substitution with 4 additional years of experience, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
MongoDB is listed twice — once under 'Nice to have' and once under 'Candidates are desired to have' — consistently marking it as preferred rather than required.
The TS/SCI with polygraph clearance is an explicit hard gate; candidates must already hold or be able to obtain this clearance.
The wide salary range ($105K–$200K) is noted by the posting itself as reflecting variation in government contract labor categories, location, and experience.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
