Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline but explicitly states 'additional experience may be substituted for a degree,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
The overall experience requirement is 8+ years of relevant experience (with 5+ years specifically as a DBA); 8 years is used as the overall years minimum.
An active DoD TS/SCI is a hard gate; the CI Poly is listed as a possible future ask ('may be asked to obtain'), not a current requirement.
Oracle 12c and 19c are listed together as the required version range — Oracle 19c is captured as an alternative since either satisfies the requirement.
'Database security' and 'database performance tuning/monitoring' are listed as hard-required competencies in the Basic Qualifications but name no specific tool beyond Oracle; they are retained as named skill areas because the JD explicitly gates on them.
Oracle Data Guard, AWR/ADDM, SAFe, PostgreSQL, and the IAT Level II certifications all appear under the Preferred Qualifications section.
The alternative occupation (15-1243 Database Architects) is noted because the role includes schema design and data modeling responsibilities alongside traditional DBA operations.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
