Why we read it this way (9)
The role is based in Latin America (not the US), working remotely for a Los Angeles-based client. The US-based flag is set to false accordingly.
The posting is described as a 'long-term project' through a staffing/consulting firm (4tech), suggesting a contract engagement rather than direct full-time employment.
The role blends security analysis (vulnerability assessment, CSPM, SAST/DAST/SCA) with meaningful software/infrastructure development (building CI/CD pipelines, internal security tooling, IaC with Terraform), making it a genuine hybrid between Information Security Analysts (15-1212) and Software Developers (15-1252). Security responsibilities are primary, so 15-1212 was chosen.
Python, Bash, and PowerShell are listed together as 'scripting languages such as…' — the 'such as' qualifier indicates interchangeability among them, but all three are named under the Requirements section and treated as hard gates. Python is listed as the primary with Bash and PowerShell as alternatives.
Security assessment tools (Qualys, SonarCloud, Prisma) are listed with 'or similar platforms', indicating the specific tools are interchangeable; all three are named under Requirements and treated as hard gates covering SCA, SAST, DAST, and CSPM capabilities.
A Bachelor's degree is listed only under 'Bonus Points' and is therefore preferred, not required.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
