Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Site Reliability Engineer' but the JD strongly emphasizes writing and shipping infrastructure code (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automation, incident tooling) — consistent with 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1244 (Systems Administrators) is listed as a runner-up because the role also owns operational concerns like on-call, incident response, and capacity planning.
Terraform and CloudFormation are listed as interchangeable examples under a 'similar stack (or ability to learn)' qualifier within the requirements section — treated as preferred rather than a hard gate, with CloudFormation as an alternative.
Observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, BetterStack, PagerDuty) and data platform tools (Neon, Modal) all appear under the same 'similar stack (or ability to learn)' qualifier and are marked preferred accordingly.
The JD requires proficiency in 'at least one programming language' but names no specific language — no language skill was emitted since no concrete technology is named.
The role is explicitly non-remote: in-person in Flatiron, NYC 5 days a week is listed as a non-negotiable.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
