The 'Preferred' section covers Azure, ETL/Azure SQL, CI/CD, Git, Java/J2EE, and certifications — all marked as preferred accordingly.
The alt SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) is noted because the role includes significant database design and enterprise application architecture responsibilities, not just operational DBA work.
