Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role's primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining infrastructure (server administration, patching, deployments from runbooks, incident response) — consistent with 15-1244 — but it also involves scripting, automation, and some SRE-flavored responsibilities that could push toward 15-1252. 15-1244 was chosen because the dominant activity is running and maintaining systems rather than building software.
Location is not specified in the posting; Oracle lists a US-wide salary range with no city or state, so no CBSA could be determined.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, and Chef are listed together as interchangeable scripting options ('one or more of the following'); PowerShell is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives. Ansible and Chef are also separately listed under Preferred Qualifications as configuration-management tools, so they are additionally captured as preferred skills.
Cloud infrastructure familiarity is required but no specific cloud platform is named in the required section ('familiarity with cloud-hosted infrastructure'); Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
Federal/government experience, STIG/compliance familiarity, and Oracle Health Millennium/Cerner experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are not captured as named technology skills.
Career Level IC2 at Oracle typically corresponds to an early-to-mid individual contributor; combined with the 3-year minimum experience requirement, this role is classified as Mid-level.
