Why we read it this way (7)
The posting repeatedly references 'Clienture' as a cloud platform alongside AWS (with requirements for Clienture AD, RBAC, networking, cost management). This appears to be a masked or anonymized name for Azure — the described features map directly to Azure Active Directory, Azure RBAC, and Azure cost management. It has been interpreted as Azure throughout this extraction.
The 10-year overall experience requirement is stated as 'infrastructure, systems engineering, DevOps, or architecture' — this is a role-level gate and is captured as the minimum total experience.
The role blends infrastructure operations with automation/IaC development (Terraform, cloud migrations, CMP development). The SOC classification leans toward Software Developers (15-1252) given the emphasis on automation, development tasks, and infrastructure-as-code, but 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a genuine runner-up given the system administration and cloud operations duties.
AWS IAM and networking architecture skills are called out explicitly within the AWS requirement block and are captured as a separate required skill to reflect the specificity of the posting.
AWS and Azure certifications are listed as preferred, not required — no certification skill entry was emitted as they are not concrete technologies.
The posting states 'local candidate preferred' and 'no relocation allowed,' indicating a hybrid on-site arrangement in Columbia, SC — remote=false is appropriate.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
