Why we read it this way (8)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary day-to-day work involves architecting and building AI-driven CI/CD systems, custom MCP servers, agentic frameworks, and automation code — not merely operating existing infrastructure. 15-1244 is noted as a runner-up given the significant infrastructure operations and cloud management responsibilities.
The posting labels this a 'remote role' in the compensation paragraph but simultaneously states '3 days in office per the client/project requirement' in Atlanta, GA — this is a hybrid arrangement, so remote is set to false.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent work experience,' which means equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — treated as no hard degree gate.
The compensation range ($60–$70/hr) and the staffing-firm context (NTT DATA placing a candidate with a client) strongly indicate a contract engagement; employment type is set to Contract.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role blends substantial software/automation development (15-1252) with cloud infrastructure operations (15-1244); the build-and-ship emphasis on MCP servers, agentic pipelines, and custom frameworks tips the balance to 15-1252.
Security and compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001) appear in the Basic Qualifications section but name no specific tool — omitted per the 'no generic concepts' rule.
Node.js appears in the narrative description of MCP server development but not in the formal qualifications block — included as preferred.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
