Why we read it this way (11)
The role blends database administration (backup/recovery, patching, HA/DR, instance management) with database development and data architecture (data modeling, ETL pipeline ownership, report migration) — a genuine hybrid. 15-1242 (Database Administrators) is chosen because operational DBA duties are listed first and most prominently; 15-1243 (Database Architects) is the close runner-up given the design, modeling, and ETL-build responsibilities.
The JD states 'Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or relevant field' but does not explicitly bar equivalent experience, and the phrasing is ambiguous enough that degree requirement is set to None rather than Bachelors.
ColdFusion, .NET, and Java are listed together as a single requirement ('Experience with Coldfusion, .Net or java technologies') — treated as interchangeable alternatives under one skill entry.
Cloud platform requirement ('AWS, Azure or similar') is listed in the required section with firm language ('is must'), so it is a hard gate; AWS is named first with 3+ years explicitly called out, and Azure is captured as an alternative.
Power BI is listed as the target migration platform for SSRS reports ('Lead migration of reports from SSRS to PowerBI or similar SAAS platform') within the responsibilities section; it is treated as required given the explicit lead responsibility.
Talend is named in the responsibilities section as the ETL tool in active use; treated as required given the 'create and maintain data loads via Talend' language.
RedGate appears in the required section as an example SQL tool ('SQL Server Management Studio and related SQL tools (RedGate, etc.)') — listed as preferred since it is framed as an example alongside SSMS rather than a standalone gate.
Python is explicitly called 'a plus' in the required section — treated as preferred.
CI/CD tools (Jenkins, SonarQube, JUnit) and CloudFormation appear under the Preferred Qualifications heading.
No explicit remote/hybrid statement found; defaulting to on-site. IntraFi is headquartered in Arlington, VA (Washington DC metro area).
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): SQL Server Management Studio.
