Why we read it this way (7)
The role is genuinely hybrid between security analysis (IAM, least privilege, access reviews, SIEM) and software development (coding production-ready IAM tools, IaC, automation). 15-1212 was chosen as primary because the core mission is security access governance; 15-1252 is a strong runner-up given the explicit emphasis on writing and shipping code.
AWS, Azure, Terraform, Teleport, and Kubernetes appear together in the 'What you get to do' section with firm language ('Code, design, and implement solutions with extensive knowledge in…'), treating them as hard gates.
SIEM is referenced as a required deliverable ('build repeatable reporting… in our SIEM') rather than a named product; no specific vendor (e.g. Splunk, Sentinel) is identified.
US Citizenship is listed as 'preferred', not required — it is not treated as a hard gate.
A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) is stated; because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Work location is not explicitly stated beyond Moveworks' general presence; the company is headquartered in Mountain View, CA (San Francisco CBSA). The posting references flexible/remote/in-office work personas but does not confirm full remote eligibility for this specific role.
