Why we read it this way (7)
The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and DevOps/platform engineering — it primarily BUILDS and OPERATES CI/CD and deployment systems (writing code, pipelines, tooling), which points to 15-1252; 15-1244 is listed as a runner-up because a portion of the work involves operating and maintaining existing build infrastructure.
The CI/CD tools requirement lists Jenkins, GitLab, TeamCity, GitHub, Buildkite, CircleCI, and RWX as interchangeable options ('such as … and/or'); all are captured as alternatives on a single skill.
The version control requirement (Git/GitLab/GitHub) is similarly an 'and/or' list; captured as one skill with alternatives.
The containers/build-environment requirement groups AWS, Artifactory, Docker, and Kubernetes together under 'such as … and/or'. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Artifactory are also emitted as individual required skills because they are distinct, widely-used tools that the posting names explicitly and that a hiring manager would evaluate separately.
Scripting languages (Shell, Groovy, Ruby) are listed as interchangeable alternatives; captured as one skill.
FedRAMP High / IL5 experience and secure software delivery practices appear only under the 'These will help you stand out' (preferred) section.
The posting states this role cannot offer visa transfer or sponsorship now or in the future.
