Why we read it this way (6)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA left blank. The role mentions a 'Flexible Work Schedule' but does not explicitly state fully remote — remote set to false as a conservative default.
The title is 'Director' which typically implies people management (11-3021), but the posting emphasizes 40% hands-on technical leadership and a detailed technical skill set, making 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) a reasonable primary classification given the IAM/security focus. 11-3021 is listed as the runner-up.
Advertised seniority is set to Principal to reflect the 'Director' title framing; however, the actual scope and requirements (10+ years, team leadership of one function) are consistent with a Senior-level role.
'Infrastructure as Code' is listed as a required skill but no specific tool is named; Terraform is used as the canonical representative with common alternatives implied. If the hiring manager has a specific platform preference, this should be clarified.
IGA (Identity Governance & Administration) and PAM (Privileged Access Management) appear under 'Desired Skills & Experience' and are captured as preferred via Okta/SailPoint alternatives and the broader IAM platform skill; they are not emitted as standalone skills since no specific named tool is required.
Compensation is stated as a bare range at the top of the posting with no explicit 'per year' label, but the figures ($180,000–$200,000) are clearly annual given the full-time, director-level context — period recorded as Year.
