Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is for a NY State DOH (Department of Health) engagement supporting the Office of Professional Medical Conduct — likely a government contract/staff-augmentation role. Employment type is inferred as Contract based on the staffing-style framing ('Requested Qualifications', no mention of benefits or FTE).
All experience thresholds are stated explicitly in months and converted here to years (84 mo ≈ 7 yrs, 60 mo = 5 yrs, 24 mo = 2 yrs, 18 mo ≈ 2 yrs). The overall years minimum is set to 7, reflecting the dominant 84-month gate.
The 'Expert: 84+ months' seniority descriptor in the posting maps to a Senior band under the standard ladder — it reflects deep individual-contributor expertise, not org-wide architectural authority that would warrant Staff or Principal.
Location is inferred as Albany, NY (NY DOH headquarters) based on the state agency context; no explicit city was stated in the posting.
'Relational database design' and 'Database schema integration' are retained as skills because the posting attaches specific year requirements to them, making them concrete, measurable gates rather than generic concepts.
Oracle 11g or later is subsumed under the Oracle skill rather than listed separately, as it is a version qualifier rather than a distinct tool.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Relational database design.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
