Why we read it this way (9)
The role title is 'Database Engineer' but the work spans both database administration (installation, patching, Data Guard, OEM) and database architecture/design (schema design, lifecycle requirements, system architecture trades). 15-1242 (Database Administrators) was chosen as the primary code given the heavy operational and DBA-flavored requirements; 15-1243 (Database Architects) is a close runner-up given the design and long-range planning responsibilities.
The posting explicitly requires a current TS/SCI clearance WITH a polygraph — this is a hard gate stated in the Security Clearance section.
DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II compliance is listed under Requirements with firm language ('is required') and is treated as a hard gate, even though it is a certification/compliance framework rather than a named technology.
MongoDB appears under 'Desired Skills' and is therefore preferred, not required.
Annapolis Junction, MD falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA (12580).
The 10+ years of experience figure comes from the job title framing; no separate years-of-experience line appears in the body requirements section.
Employment type is not explicitly stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II.
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.
