Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Cloud Engineer I' implies an entry-level (Junior) band, but the Basic Qualifications require 3+ years of progressive IT engineering experience and enterprise-level skills, which better supports a Mid-level classification.
US Citizenship is explicitly required due to federal customer contracts, but no formal security clearance is stated as a gate.
The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) because the primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining existing infrastructure (monitoring, patching, incident response, virtualization support) rather than building or shipping new software. However, 15-1252 is a plausible alternative given the automation and scripting context.
Linux and Windows Server are listed together as an 'and/or' requirement in the Basic Qualifications; both are captured as required with each other as an alternative.
Python, Ansible, PowerShell, JavaScript/JSON/REST API appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
