Why we read it this way (7)
The JD states candidates must be authorized to work in the US and may need to undergo a background investigation (Public Trust or equivalent). Certain assignments may require US citizenship or eligibility for a government security clearance — but no specific clearance is hard-gated at the point of hire, so clearance is set to None.
The '6+ years Oracle DBA experience' drives the overall years minimum. The JD also requires '2+ years supporting an additional database platform' and '3+ years automating tasks through shell scripting' — these are captured as skill-level requirements on the relevant skills.
The regulated-environment requirement (FedRAMP, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) is listed as mandatory; FedRAMP is named first and is the primary focus of the role, with the others listed as acceptable alternatives for prior experience.
Additional database platform (Azure SQL Database, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) is required ('at least one of') but the specific tool is interchangeable — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives, since the JD frames it as a secondary platform requirement rather than a hard gate on any one product.
Cloud platform (Azure/AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, WebLogic, GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, CI/CD, CIS Benchmark, Azure PIM, Nagios, Prometheus, and ELK appear in the qualifications section but under sub-headings that read as stack context or secondary capabilities rather than primary hard gates — marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
