We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Database Engineer' but the day-to-day work spans both DBA operations (incident triage, performance tuning, disaster recovery, SQL upgrades) and data modeling/architecture advisory — hence the close call between 15-1242 (Database Administrators) and 15-1243 (Database Architects). The operational/triage emphasis tipped the primary choice to 15-1242.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated in the posting.
EC2 and RDS are called out explicitly by name under the qualifications section alongside the broader AWS familiarity requirement, so all three are treated as hard gates.
Datadog is listed under 'Nice to Have Skills' with 'or similar platforms', so it is marked preferred.
AI/interest in AI is listed under 'Nice to Have Skills' with no specific tool named; it is marked preferred.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
The role is remote-US only; eligible states are enumerated in the posting (28 states listed).
