Why we read it this way (9)

This role carries a 'Sr Manager' title and explicitly includes team management, but the JD is heavily weighted toward hands-on technical work (CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes, cloud engineering). 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary classification given the people-management mandate; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible runner-up given the depth of engineering responsibilities.

The posting is located in New Brunswick, NJ; the closest CBSA is New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA (35084).

The role is described as 'site-by-design' (hybrid, at least 50% onsite), so remote=false.

CloudFormation is listed as the primary IaC tool with 'or similar technologies' — Terraform and Pulumi are the most common substitutes captured in alternatives.

Grafana and CloudWatch are listed together as examples of monitoring/observability solutions; both are captured as required skills with each other as an alternative, reflecting that the JD presents them as interchangeable examples of the same requirement.

Python, Bash, and PowerShell are listed as scripting alternatives; Python is the primary with the others in alternatives.

Databricks, MLflow, and SageMaker appear under the Preferred section. MLflow and SageMaker are listed together as alternatives; Databricks stands alone.

AWS Professional, Kubernetes, or DevOps certifications are listed as preferred but are not concrete technologies — omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

Knowledge of healthcare/pharma/regulated environments is listed as preferred but is domain knowledge, not a named technology — omitted per extraction rules.
