Why we read it this way (7)
This role is a hybrid of technical content strategy, developer evangelism, and hands-on engineering (authoring integrations, content automation code). No single SOC fits cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best match for a technical evangelist/content strategist role. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the explicit requirement to author integration code.
The JD lists AWS, GCP, Azure, K8s, Puppet, Chef, Terraform, and Ansible together in a single 'experience with' line under the Preferred Technical Skills section. Although this section is labeled 'Preferred Technical Skills,' the surrounding language ('required,' 'demonstrated,' 'demonstrable') and the overall structure treat these as substantive gates. AWS/GCP/Azure are captured as one skill with alternatives; Terraform/Puppet/Chef/Ansible similarly. K8s is captured separately as Kubernetes.
The 'Preferred Technical Skills' heading is ambiguous — it could mean the entire block is preferred, or it could be a section title covering both required and preferred items. The opening line of that section ('Previous experience as a practitioner… is required') confirms some items within it are hard gates. Cloud Technologies, Kubernetes, and a cloud platform (AWS/GCP/Azure) are treated as required given the firm 5-year experience gate on Cloud/Observability and the 'demonstrated subject matter expertise' language. OpenTelemetry, Microservices, IaC, Splunk, and Generative AI are marked preferred as they appear more as stack context or aspirational depth.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in computer science, a related discipline or equivalent work experience,' so no formal degree is hard-required.
