Why we read it this way (7)

The role sits at the boundary between SRE/platform engineering (writing automation, IaC, and observability tooling — pointing to 15-1252) and cloud/infrastructure operations (monitoring, incident response, operational workflows — pointing to 15-1244). The primary day-to-day work is building and evolving an observability platform with code (Terraform, Python/Go), which tips the classification to Software Developers (15-1252), with Network/Systems Administrators (15-1244) as a meaningful runner-up.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is applied.

Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace, and New Relic are listed together as interchangeable observability platform options ('such as … or similar'); Grafana is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives. Prometheus and OpenTelemetry are listed separately and treated as distinct required skills.

Python, Go, and PowerShell are listed as interchangeable scripting/automation language options; Python is used as the primary name.
