Why we read it this way (8)
Work location is an Oracle SCIF or contractor facility in Columbia, MD, with one day per week at the customer site — this is an on-site/hybrid role, not remote.
The posting references a 'SYS3 PRIVAC level' clearance as a desired (not required) qualifier. The hard clearance gate is implied by the SCIF work environment; the role is classified as requiring TS/SCI based on the SCIF requirement, though no explicit clearance level is stated in the qualifications section.
Oracle RAC and Oracle DB Vault appear in the Required Qualifications section alongside Data Guard and OEM, so they are treated as hard gates even though the day-to-day role narrative focuses on non-RAC Data Guard environments — the JD explicitly lists RAC experience as required.
AWR/ASH performance tuning and Oracle Flashback appear in the narrative skills section (not the formal Required Qualifications block) and are treated as preferred.
A BS in CS or related field is listed as required but the JD immediately offers 'or equivalent years' experience' as an alternative, so no minimum degree is flagged.
Security+ CE is explicitly listed as a required qualification.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
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.
