Why we read it this way (7)
The title says 'AWS Cloud Systems Administrator' with no level modifier; the posting separately labels the experience level as 'Intermediate Level', which maps to Mid.
The role is primarily operating and administering AWS and Linux infrastructure rather than building new software, supporting 15-1244 over 15-1252. However, the CloudFormation/automation emphasis and infrastructure-as-code references introduce some ambiguity.
The degree requirement is flexible: a Bachelor's + 1 year, an Associate's + 3 years, or 5 years of experience all satisfy the gate — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so no formal degree is hard-required. overall years minimum is set to 1 (the minimum years stated under the most permissive path).
This is a Contract-to-Hire engagement placed by TEKsystems; classified as Contract.
Tenable and LAMP stack appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Infrastructure-as-code tools are listed as preferred but no specific tool is named beyond CloudFormation (which is already required); no additional skill was emitted for the generic 'infrastructure-as-code tools' preference.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
