Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is a New York State government contract engagement (NYWIC/WIC program); the location is inferred as Albany, NY (NYS DOH headquarters) based on the statewide program context, though no city is explicitly stated.
The mandatory qualification calls for 84+ months (7+ years) of expert-level Database Architect experience, which drives the overall years minimum to 7.
All 'Requested Qualifications' are listed under a formal qualifications section with specific month counts and firm language, so they are treated as hard gates. The 24-month OBIEE RPD development and data governance items carry the shortest tenure requirement and are the weakest gates in the list; they are marked preferred to reflect that they read more as depth-of-experience differentiators than rejection criteria, given the primary role focus is data modeling.
The posting explicitly requires a Bachelor's degree in an IT field with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
Employment type is inferred as Contract based on the staffing/resource-request framing ('the resource will serve as backup'), NYS LATS timecard reference, and project/program structure — no direct statement of full-time permanent employment is made.
No compensation figures are provided.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): dimensional data modeling, OBIEE RPD development, data governance.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
