Why we read it this way (7)

The 3+ years figure is tied to cloud infrastructure (AWS and/or GCP) specifically, not a general role-level experience requirement — it is the closest proxy for the overall years minimum available in the posting.

AWS and GCP are listed together as a single requirement ('AWS and/or GCP'); both are also referenced independently throughout the JD, so they are emitted as separate skills with each other as an alternative.

The monitoring/observability requirement names Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog as equivalents; Prometheus is used as the primary name with the others in alternatives.

Istio, ArgoCD/Tekton/Concourse, Atlantis, Tyk/Apigee/NGINX, Pub/Sub, and Secret Manager appear only in the job responsibilities narrative, not in the explicit 'Skills and Requirements' section, so they are marked preferred.

The Bachelor's Degree is listed as a standalone bullet in the 'Skills and Requirements' section and is treated as a hard requirement.

GCP experience appears as a standalone trailing item in the requirements list, likely a tagging artifact; it is already captured as a required skill.

SOC confidence is Medium: the role is titled DevOps Engineer and involves substantial infrastructure-as-code and platform automation (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has meaningful cluster operations and systems administration duties (15-1244). The primary emphasis on building control-plane tooling, Terraform modules, and CI/CD pipelines tips the classification toward 15-1252.
