Why we read it this way (7)
The role sits between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1244 (Network/Systems Admins): the primary deliverable is writing and shipping Ansible automation code (favoring 15-1252), but the domain is datacenter infrastructure operations and migration (a signal toward 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen because the JD emphasizes building playbooks and automation frameworks from scratch.
NetApp storage replication experience is listed under Position Requirements (MUST-HAVES) but the JD immediately qualifies automating storage provisioning/failover workflows as 'highly desirable,' suggesting the storage automation aspect is preferred. NetApp knowledge itself is treated as required given its placement in the must-have block.
Banking/financial services experience is explicitly called a 'STRICT REQUIREMENT' in the must-have section; however, it names no specific technology or tool, so it is not captured as a skill per extraction rules.
DNS and load balancing appear only in a parenthetical context description ('understanding application lifecycles, DNS, load balancing, databases, and network dependencies') under the datacenter migration requirement — treated as preferred context rather than hard-gated skills.
The posting is for two open headcount positions, which is unusual but does not affect the requirement extraction.
This is a Direct W2 contract only — C2C, 1099, and third-party agency submissions are explicitly excluded.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
