Why we read it this way (7)

This role is based in Hyderabad, India — the US-based flag is set to false; US compensation benchmarks will not apply.

The role sits at the boundary between software development (building IaC/automation frameworks from scratch, writing Python/PowerShell/Ansible/Terraform code) and infrastructure operations (on-prem data center, VMware, storage, backup). It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary deliverable is authoring and architecting automation code and IaC frameworks, not operating existing systems; 15-1244 is noted as a close runner-up given the heavy on-prem infrastructure context.

12–15+ years is the stated range; total experience minimum is set to 12.

VMware is explicitly called out as 'required' in the skills list; Nutanix is listed alongside it with 'willingness or exposure to', making it preferred.

Rundeck/Spinnaker and enterprise storage platforms (Dell EMC, Pure Storage, Isilon) and backup platforms (Rubrik, Cohesity) all appear in the secondary skills block without hard-gate language, so they are marked preferred.

No compensation, degree, or employment-type information is provided in the posting.

This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
