Why we read it this way (5)
The role is primarily infrastructure operations (provisioning, patching, lifecycle management, incident response) rather than building new software, which supports 15-1244. However, the explicit automation/scripting requirements (Bash, Python, Ansible) introduce some overlap with 15-1252; 15-1244 was chosen because the dominant work is operating and maintaining existing Linux infrastructure.
AWS sub-services (EC2, EBS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, Auto Scaling) are listed individually under the Required Skills section and are captured as separate skills accordingly.
The ITIL framework is listed as a required skill in the posting but is a methodology rather than a named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules. Practical ITIL experience is reflected through the ServiceNow requirement.
The position requires 4 days/week on-site in Minneapolis; it is not fully remote.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
