Why we read it this way (6)
The role blends cloud infrastructure operations (provisioning, monitoring, troubleshooting) with some software-engineering tasks (custom scripting, writing tests, automated solutions). The primary day-to-day work reads as cloud/systems administration, but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible runner-up given the scripting and automation emphasis.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree or equivalent relevant work experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
The 5+ years of IT experience is the stated overall floor; the 2-year AWS minimum is captured on the AWS skill directly.
Associate-level cloud certification in AWS, Azure, OCI, or GCP is listed as a minimum qualification; professional-level certification is explicitly called a plus. The certification requirement is captured as a single skill with the four named cloud providers as alternatives.
Oracle WebLogic and DevOps tools are explicitly called 'a plus' under Other Job Specific Skills and are marked preferred accordingly.
'Cloud CLI scripting' is retained as a required skill because it appears under the required qualifications section as 'Cloud command line scripting skills'; no specific tool or language is named, so it is kept at that level of specificity rather than invented as a named tool.
