Why we read it this way (9)
The role is located in either Atlanta, GA or Charlotte, NC (Charlotte CBSA: 16740); both are listed as in-office options. Atlanta is used as the primary CBSA here since it is listed first.
This role sits at the intersection of security engineering and software development — it writes and ships security controls, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and automation code (pointing toward 15-1252), but its primary framing is AI/cloud security governance and cybersecurity engineering (pointing toward 15-1212). 15-1212 is used as the primary code given the explicit 'security engineer' title and the regulatory/governance emphasis; 15-1252 is the close runner-up.
The 7-year minimum is stated as 'Minimum of 7 years of experience in security engineering or related cybersecurity roles' in the Required Qualifications section. The posting also lists '3+ years' under 'Additional experience we seek,' which appears to be a lower-bar alternative framing of the same role-level requirement rather than a separate gate; the 7-year figure is used as the overall years minimum.
Azure and AWS are listed together as 'Azure and/or AWS' in the required skills section — both are captured as required with each other as alternatives, reflecting that the role gates on cloud platform experience but accepts either.
Terraform and CloudFormation are listed together as an IaC requirement — both captured as required with each other as alternatives.
Wiz, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Sentinel appear together as examples of required cloud security tooling ('e.g., Microsoft Purview, Sentinel, Wiz or equivalent'). Wiz is used as the primary skill with the others as alternatives.
ECS, EKS, and Kubernetes all appear in the required section for securing containerized workloads; all three are captured as required.
Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Sentinel also appear individually under Preferred Qualifications and are retained as preferred skills.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
