Why we read it this way (7)
Compensation is listed as 'DOE' (Depends on Experience) — no figures provided.
The education requirement states a Bachelor's degree in computer science or information systems, but pairs it with '8+ years of technical architecture experience and relevant hands-on engineering,' implying equivalent experience may substitute; degree is therefore not treated as a hard gate.
AWS and Azure certifications are listed as preferred, not required.
The role blends infrastructure operations (cloud migrations, shared services maintenance) with IaC development (Terraform) and architecture — the SOC classification is a judgement call between Software Developers (15-1252) and Network/Systems Admins (15-1244); the Terraform/IaC and architecture emphasis tips it toward 15-1252.
Candidate must be a current South Carolina resident; no relocation is permitted.
The first week requires full onsite presence in Columbia, SC; thereafter approximately 3 days per month onsite is expected.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
