Why we read it this way (4)
The role is titled without a seniority level, but the requirements — owning on-call, driving postmortems, scaling databases under pressure, and leading incident response — clearly support a Senior band.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role centers on reliability, incident response, and infrastructure ownership, but the strong Terraform/IaC emphasis and the expectation of writing durable fixes (rather than just operating existing systems) tips it toward Software Developers (15-1252) over Systems Administrators (15-1244). 15-1244 is noted as a close runner-up.
MySQL and PostgreSQL are listed together as the required relational database scaling experience; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for that single requirement.
Redis, RabbitMQ, CircleCI, and Salt appear only in the 'Our Stack' narrative section, not in the 'What We're Looking For' requirements block, so they are marked as preferred rather than hard gates.
