Why we read it this way (5)
The posting title references 'IT Infrastructure Engineer – 95714' in the qualifications section, but the actual role described throughout is a DB2 DBA (OBA title P-525); the infrastructure engineer framing appears to be boilerplate qualification language appended to the posting.
The minimum experience requirement is 4 years with a CS-related bachelor's degree, or 8 years with any bachelor's degree; 4 years is used as the overall years minimum as the lower bound.
DB2 v12 or higher on IBM z/OS is explicitly called out as a hard requirement. The specific target systems (PMS, PPMS, FMS) are government payroll/financial platforms — no commercial product experience is substitutable.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): IBM InfoSphere Data Replication.
