Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'SRE Engineer II', which maps to a mid-level (II) position. The 2+ years experience requirement and scope of responsibilities are consistent with a Mid-level engineer.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes IaC, builds CI/CD pipelines, and develops cloud services (signals for 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong operational/reliability focus (monitoring, incident response, infrastructure management) that could support 15-1244. The balance of building vs. operating tips toward 15-1252.
Azure is the primary required cloud platform ('solid foundation in Azure cloud platform'); AWS and/or GCP are explicitly listed as preferred ('Exposure to AWS and/or GCP cloud platforms is preferred').
Containerization technologies are required but no specific tool is named; Docker is the canonical standard and is listed as the required/preferred flag accordingly.
CI/CD tools are required; Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline, and Jenkins are named as examples under the responsibilities narrative rather than a dedicated requirements section, so they are captured as preferred alternatives.
Azure/AWS/GCP certifications are explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent work experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The role is 5 days on-site at Sunnyvale, CA HQ — not remote.
