Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a genuine hybrid between software development (writing integrations, automations, dashboards, code) and broadcast/systems operations (multi-vendor broadcast systems, transport workflows, monitoring). SOC 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen as primary because the JD explicitly emphasizes writing scalable code, building tools, and integrations; 15-1244 is the runner-up given the strong operational and infrastructure context.
Docker and Kubernetes appear under the required qualifications section framed as 'Familiarity with' — a softer qualifier, but they are placed within the hard-requirements block rather than the 'Desirable Skills' section, so they are treated as required gates.
Python, C++, and C# are listed together under 'Desirable Skills' as interchangeable options; Python is used as the primary name with C++ and C# as alternatives.
Ansible and Netmiko are listed together under 'Desirable Skills' and are treated as interchangeable alternatives.
The BS degree requirement does not include an 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
