Why we read it this way (5)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Systems Administrators (15-1244) because the tech breakdown — 45% AWS infrastructure, 25% Kubernetes/containerization, 20% Terraform IaC, 10% CI/CD — describes building and owning infrastructure through code, not operating pre-built systems. The alt code 15-1244 is noted given the Linux administration and production-support framing.
CI/CD is listed as a hard requirement with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins named as interchangeable options; all three are captured in alternatives.
Python and Bash are presented as interchangeable ('Python or Bash scripting'); Python is the primary name with Bash in alternatives.
AWS Certifications and mentoring junior engineers appear under 'Desired Skills & Experience' and are not captured as skills — certifications are a credential, not a technology, and mentoring is a soft/responsibility item.
The compensation range ($155,000–$185,000) is stated without an explicit 'per year' label, but the figures are unambiguously annual; period is set to Year accordingly.
