Why we read it this way (6)
The posting's Qualifications section is unusually long and blends hard requirements with general experience statements. Skills such as Akamai, SonarQube, Apigee, Liquibase, and application server configuration (Tomcat/JBoss/WebLogic/WebSphere) appear in the same flat list as the explicitly time-gated requirements, so they have been treated as hard gates consistent with section placement.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's degree' — Bachelor's is the minimum and has been recorded accordingly.
OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace are listed together as interchangeable monitoring tools with a 1-year minimum; they have been captured as a single requirement with Dynatrace as the alternative. Dynatrace also appears separately as a preferred skill because it is called out independently in the responsibilities section.
Shell scripting and Python are listed together under Unix/scripting knowledge; Shell is the primary skill with Python as an alternative since the posting treats them as a combined requirement.
The alt SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the title 'Systems Engineer' and the integration/middleware focus could lean that way, though the volume of software development work (APIs, microservices, CI/CD, coding) makes 15-1252 the stronger fit.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
