Why we read it this way (5)
The role title says 'Cloud Database Administrator' but the work blends traditional SQL Server DBA duties with cloud data platform administration (Azure Databricks, Unity Catalog, Azure Data Lake). 15-1242 (Database Administrators) is the primary classification; 15-1243 (Database Architects) is a reasonable runner-up given the governance and platform-design responsibilities.
All skills listed under 'Desired Technical Experience' are explicitly flagged as 'Not All Required,' so they are treated as preferred. The 'Job Specific Requirements' section gates on backup/recovery competency and cloud networking concepts (VNet, private endpoints, firewall rules) but names no specific tools there, so only the named technologies from the requirements sections are captured as hard gates.
Location is stated as 'Western New York,' which most likely refers to the Buffalo-Cheektowaga CBSA; no more specific city is given.
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or better in Computer Science or related field' and 'Bachelor's or better in Information Technology or related field' — both point to a Bachelor's as the minimum formal requirement.
The posting does not state a minimum total years of experience.
