Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role's primary day-to-day work is operating, patching, and administering mainframe and AS/400 infrastructure (z/OS, IBM i, SMP/E, PTF management) — which maps to 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators). However, the role also requires building automation pipelines and test harnesses, which leans toward 15-1252 (Software Developers). 15-1244 was chosen because patch lifecycle management and infrastructure administration are the dominant deliverables.
The title 'Domain Tech Lead' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. The 7+ years requirement and team-lead scope support a Senior classification.
IBM Tivoli, CA7, TWS/OPC, SDSF, and ServiceNow appear in the narrative describing automation tooling examples ('e.g.') rather than in a hard-requirements block; they are marked preferred accordingly.
AWS/Azure appear in the broader domain list context and in the preferred certifications section, not as hard gates for this specific mainframe-focused role.
The compensation range ($134,000–$265,000/year) is explicitly noted as unadjusted for geographic differential.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): IBM Db2 for z/OS.
