Why we read it this way (8)
The title combines 'SQL Developer + Database Administrator'; the primary day-to-day work is clearly DBA operations (administering production environments, performance tuning, high availability), making 15-1242 the best fit. 15-1243 (Database Architects) is a plausible runner-up given the schema design and architecture collaboration duties.
The 6+ years figure is stated at the role level ('6+ years of hands-on experience as a Database Administrator') and is also the years demanded on SQL Server, as the posting ties the two together explicitly.
Entity Framework is listed under Required Qualifications as 'Working knowledge of Entity Framework and its SQL generation patterns' — it is a hard gate despite the relatively light framing ('working knowledge').
AI tools for database monitoring/automation are explicitly called 'nice to have' in the responsibilities section and 'Familiarity with AI tools' appears in Required Qualifications — the body text overrides the heading placement; the explicit 'nice to have' label in the narrative is treated as the authoritative signal, so this skill is marked preferred.
AWS appears as a required cloud platform context (cloud-hosted relational databases including AWS MySQL); MySQL is the specific engine called out on that platform and is listed separately.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure SQL Managed Instance.
