Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous: the role blends operational monitoring/incident response (pointing toward 15-1244 Systems Administrators) with CI/CD pipeline support, scripting, and infrastructure-as-code contributions (pointing toward 15-1252 Software Developers). The SRE/DevOps framing and IaC work tipped the primary classification to 15-1252, but 15-1244 is a strong runner-up.
The 5+ years requirement is qualified by '(internship or co-op experience considered)', which significantly softens the gate — the actual experience bar may be closer to Mid-level than the raw number implies. Seniority is set to Mid accordingly.
Azure DevOps is listed as 'preferred' within the CI/CD requirement ('Azure DevOps preferred'), but CI/CD pipeline toolset familiarity itself is a hard gate; Azure DevOps is captured as the primary with common alternatives noted.
PowerShell, Python, and Bash are presented as interchangeable scripting options ('PowerShell, Python, or Bash'); emitted as one skill with alternatives.
Open Telemetry, Log Analytics, Bicep/ARM/Terraform, and SLO/SLA tracking appear in the job duties narrative rather than the explicit 'Required' section, so they are marked as preferred.
