Why we read it this way (7)
The $50–$90 figure appears at the top of the posting with no stated basis (hourly vs. annual); given the range magnitude and the contract-adjacent staffing-firm framing, it most likely represents an hourly rate — treated as hourly here, but confirm with the employer.
The posting does not specify a contract vs. full-time engagement explicitly in the body, but the staffing-firm language ('The Offer', benefits listed, 'Applicants must be currently authorized…') and the hourly rate range suggest this may be a contract-to-hire or W2 contract role; employment type is recorded as FullTime based on the 'full-time basis' language in the final line.
The IAM platform requirement lists SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, Ping Identity, and Azure AD as alternatives under 'such as' — the gate is proficiency with at least one recognized IAM platform, not all five simultaneously. Each is emitted as a required skill with the others as alternatives.
Similarly, the scripting requirement (Python, PowerShell, Bash) is a single gate on IAM workflow automation scripting; each language is emitted as required with the others as alternatives.
The SAML / OAuth2 / OpenID Connect protocols are listed together under the same required bullet; each is emitted as required with the others as alternatives since the gate is knowledge of IAM protocols generally.
Degree requirement: the JD states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' which means equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is therefore None.
SOC classification: IAM Engineering sits at the intersection of security analysis (15-1212) and general computer occupations (15-1299). The primary day-to-day work — designing, implementing, and operating identity governance and authentication platforms — aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts; 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative.
