Why we read it this way (8)
The role is tagged '#Remote' at the bottom of the posting, indicating fully remote eligibility.
No specific work location or metro area is stated; the posting is US-based (Leidos is headquartered in Reston, VA and the role is for US positions), so no CBSA is assigned.
The clearance requirement is 'ability to obtain/maintain a Public Trust Security Clearance' — a Public Trust is a suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends cloud architecture/DevOps engineering (building pipelines, IaC, automation — pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) with infrastructure operations and systems engineering (pointing to 15-1244). The emphasis on designing and building CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code tips the balance toward 15-1252.
All EDAV-stack tools (Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Delta Lake, R Studio, Power BI, Tableau, Palantir Foundry, Azure SQL, Azure DevOps) and migration/modernization technologies (SAS, Python, Kubernetes, GitHub, Terraform) appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
Infrastructure-as-code is required in the Basic Qualifications but names no specific tool; Terraform appears only under Preferred Qualifications as an example, so it is marked preferred. The general IaC requirement is a methodology, not a named tool, and is not emitted as a skill.
Azure certifications (AZ-305, AZ-400, DP-203) are listed under Preferred Qualifications and are not emitted as skills — they are credentials, not technologies.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
