Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a genuine hybrid of DevSecOps/platform engineering (CI/CD, container supply chain) and application security (SBOM, vulnerability scanning, code signing, threat modeling). SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen because the primary day-to-day work is building and shipping software infrastructure and pipelines; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is a credible runner-up given the heavy security focus.
The JD requires 'U.S. Person status' for access to export-controlled data (ITAR/EAR), but does not gate on a formal government security clearance — clearance is set to None accordingly.
A Bachelor's degree in CS or EE is listed in Requirements but is immediately qualified by 'or equivalent experience', so the degree requirement is set to None.
JFrog Xray is listed in the Requirements section alongside Chainguard and Binarly as examples of scanning tools ('e.g., JFrog Xray, Binarly'); all three are captured with Chainguard and Binarly as alternatives, reflecting that any of these tools satisfies the requirement.

AWS is listed under 'Nice to Have' as the preferred cloud platform; Azure and GCP are noted as common alternatives.
