Why we read it this way (6)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Systems Admins (15-1244) because the primary deliverables are building and shipping infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, and a production-ready platform — not operating existing systems. The runner-up 15-1244 is noted given the operational readiness and handoff framing.
Terraform is listed in the requirements as 'Terraform or Infrastructure as Code'; alternatives reflect common IaC substitutes a hiring manager would accept.
Java is listed as 'preferred' within the experience requirements section ('Backend development experience, with Java preferred'), so it is marked as preferred.
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated in the posting; total experience requirement is unspecified.
