Why we read it this way (9)
The role title is 'Database Engineer' but the day-to-day responsibilities are squarely database administration and schema design (Oracle 19c, backup/restore, patching, performance tuning), making 15-1242 the best fit; 15-1243 (Database Architects) is a reasonable runner-up given the schema design and migration planning duties.
TS/SCI with a Full-Scope (FS) or Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph is an explicit hard gate; classified as TopSecretSci.
The 13-year experience requirement is stated at the role level, with degree substitutions allowed (Bachelor's for 4 years, Master's for 6 years) — no degree is hard-required on its own.
Apache Solr is listed in the Requirements section but qualified as 'preferred,' so it is marked as preferred rather than required.
SAP BI and VMware-to-AWS RDS migration experience appear only under the 'Desired' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
Work location is listed as flexible among Annapolis Junction MD, Washington DC, and Reston VA — the Washington DC metro CBSA is used as the primary location. The role does not appear to be fully remote.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Oracle database administration, database schema design, Oracle backup and restore, Oracle patch management.
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.
