Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Staff Cloud Engineer-Infrastructure,' but the requirements and scope (deep AWS expertise, IaC, networking, DR) are consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor rather than a true Staff-level org-wide technical authority. Seniority is assessed as Senior.
The Utah location is not further specified (city not named). Provo-Orem, UT is used as the CBSA; Salt Lake City is also plausible — the exact metro is ambiguous.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and builds automation, pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers, but it also has a strong network/systems operations flavor (VPC, Route 53, CloudFront, DR monitoring) that could support 15-1244. The IaC and automation emphasis tips the classification to 15-1252.
CloudFront, AWS Control Tower, and cloud security controls are listed under Requirements but introduced with 'Familiarity with,' which signals a lower bar than the firmly-gated items above them; they are treated as preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
