Why we read it this way (8)
This is a New York State government contract engagement (NYWIC/WIC program); the location is inferred as Albany, NY based on the NYS agency context and LATS timecard reference, though no city is explicitly stated.
The posting frames the role as 'Software Architect – Expert' with 84+ months (7+ years) as the mandatory qualification tier; however, the actual day-to-day work (ETL backup support, data modeling, OBIEE development, Oracle DBA tasks) is consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor rather than a true org-wide Principal architect.
OBIEE and Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) are listed as interchangeable in the posting ('OBIEE 11g/12c and Oracle Analytics Server'); they are emitted as a single requirement with alternatives rather than two separate skills.
Sybase, MS Access, and .NET appear only in the project stack/narrative context (data migration sources and the core application platform) rather than in a gating qualifications block, so they are marked preferred.
The 84-month (7-year) figure is used for the overall years minimum as it is the mandatory expert-level threshold stated in the Mandatory Qualifications section; individual skill year demands are taken directly from the Requested Qualifications block.
No compensation is stated in the posting.
The alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the significant BI reporting and data analysis responsibilities, but the primary classification as 15-1243 (Database Architects) reflects the dominant emphasis on enterprise data warehouse design, ETL architecture, and data modeling.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
