Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Senior Operations Analyst (SRE)' but the day-to-day work — building automation, self-healing workflows, runbook automation, GitOps pipelines, IaC, and Policy-as-Code — is squarely software development (15-1252). 15-1244 is the runner-up given the strong operational/incident-management dimension.
Primary location is Fairfax, VA (Washington DC metro); Lafayette, LA is listed as an alternate preferred location. The CBSA reflects the primary posting location.
The 6–9 year range maps to the overall years minimum of 6; the 3+ years on Azure is captured as the years demanded on the Azure skill.
Cert manager (Kubernetes cert-manager) appears in the required security tooling section but is a Kubernetes ecosystem component rather than a standalone named product — it is subsumed under the Kubernetes/AKS skill cluster and not emitted separately to avoid noise.
Policy-as-Code tools (OPA, Kyverno, Conftest) and job/batch orchestration (JS7), API gateway (APISIX/APIM), PostgreSQL, and PgBouncer all appear under the 'Preferred Experience' heading.
ITSM depth (incident/problem/change management, SLA/SLO) and event management/orchestration are required but name no specific product; they are omitted from the skills list per the no-generic-concepts rule.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
