Why we read it this way (8)
No work location is specified in the posting — CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role may be remote or at a Cargill campus; the posting does not clarify.
SOC classification required a judgement call: the role writes and ships automation code (Python, CI/CD, IaC) which points to Software Developers (15-1252), but a substantial portion of day-to-day work is operating and maintaining network infrastructure, which is characteristic of Network/Systems Admins (15-1244). Software Developers was chosen because the posting explicitly emphasizes building automation services, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code as primary deliverables.
Ansible and Terraform appear together in the required qualifications as interchangeable examples of 'configuration or infrastructure-as-code tools'; Ansible is listed as the primary with Terraform as an alternative. Both also appear separately in the preferred section.
The minimum experience requirement is stated as 'five years or more' in the qualifications; the preferred threshold is eight or more years. Total years minimum is set to 5 per the hard gate.
Versa Networks SD-WAN, BGP, OSPF, IPsec, and all other items in the preferred section are marked as preferred, as they appear under explicitly preferred qualifications.
pytest, pyATS, and Batfish are listed as interchangeable automated network testing frameworks in the preferred section.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
