Why we read it this way (13)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Systems Administrators (15-1244) because the JD explicitly calls for coding permanent fixes, automation development, and infrastructure-as-code — the role ships tooling and automation, not merely operates existing systems. However, the strong operational/monitoring focus (incident response, capacity planning, disaster recovery) makes 15-1244 a credible runner-up.
The posting is headquartered in Denver, CO, but explicitly offers a virtual/remote option for candidates living more than 100 miles from the office.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred' and the posting explicitly states Comcast will consider applicants with equivalent experience — so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 'Must Have Skills' section lists cloud platforms as 'e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure' — all three are named interchangeable options for the same requirement; AWS is used as the primary with GCP and Azure as alternatives.
Python and Bash are listed as interchangeable scripting language options under Must Have; both are emitted as separate required skills with each other as the alternative, reflecting that either satisfies the requirement.
Terraform and Ansible are listed as interchangeable IaC options under Must Have; Terraform is primary with Ansible as the alternative.
Docker and Kubernetes are listed together under containerization/orchestration in Must Have, but Kubernetes also appears as a standalone must-have for performance monitoring and tuning — both are emitted as separate required skills.
Datadog and Splunk are listed as interchangeable monitoring tool options under Must Have; Datadog is primary with Splunk as the alternative.
NoSQL and SQL are listed as interchangeable database options under Must Have; NoSQL is primary with SQL as the alternative.
CI/CD pipeline management and React (front-end development) appear under the 'Desirable Skills' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
Cloud Cost Optimization and 'Automating deployment processes' were omitted from the skills list as they name no specific technology or tool.
Relevant Work Experience is stated as '5-7 Years', giving a overall years minimum of 5.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
