Why we read it this way (8)
The role blends infrastructure-as-code/automation engineering (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) with day-to-day cloud ops and monitoring (pointing to 15-1244 Network and Systems Admins). The IaC, CI/CD pipeline-building, and automation emphasis tips the primary classification to 15-1252, but the runner-up is genuine.
Azure is listed as the primary platform ('Deep understanding of Azure … is required'); GCP is mentioned as an 'and/or' alternative in the same requirement, so it is captured as an alternative rather than a separate gate.
Terraform is called out explicitly in the intro as a key requirement and again in the Skills section alongside Ansible; Ansible is captured separately as preferred since it appears in a list of examples rather than as a standalone gate.
Logging/monitoring tools (Splunk, New Relic, Logstash, CloudTrail) appear under the experience section as examples ('such as'), so they are marked preferred rather than hard gates.
GitHub and Bitbucket appear as examples of 'GIT based products' in the Skills section; Git itself is the hard gate, with GitHub/Bitbucket as preferred specifics.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent years of experience is required,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Candidates in California, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts are explicitly excluded from this remote role.
