Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the boundary between database administration (15-1242) and database architecture/design (15-1243): the posting emphasizes T-SQL development, performance tuning, and stored procedure work (DBA-leaning) but also calls for data modeling, ERD design, and complex data structure design (architect-leaning). 15-1242 was chosen as the primary code because day-to-day operational tuning and administration language dominates.
Work location is not specified in the posting; the DOJ FBI customer context strongly implies an on-site or hybrid arrangement in the Washington, DC area, but no city is confirmed.
The degree requirement accepts 'additional experience in lieu of degree,' so it is treated as not a hard degree gate.
Cloud migration experience (AWS or similar) and data warehousing background appear only under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a Top Secret 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.
