Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a hybrid (Mon–Thu in-office, Fri WFH) in Atlanta, GA — not fully remote.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the posting blends infrastructure-as-code and automation (15-1252 Software Developers) with systems/network operations and on-call support (15-1244). The developer-focus framing and IaC/CI/CD emphasis tip it toward 15-1252.
The degree requirement is unusually specific: a Bachelor's from an 'accredited, in-person, not for profit university or college' — online or for-profit institutions are explicitly excluded.
Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is listed under Basic Qualifications with 'some experience' language, but it is a hard gate in the required section; alternatives are captured accordingly.
Scripting is listed as 'Heavy scripting support (PowerShell), Bash, Ruby, Groovy' — PowerShell and Bash are the most prominently called out; Ruby and Groovy appear as additional context rather than separate gates and are omitted to avoid over-listing.
Programming language experience (Java, C#, Python, NodeJS) is listed under Preferred Skills and Qualifications, so it is marked preferred with alternatives.
Prometheus and Grafana appear together under Preferred as Kubernetes observability tools; they are combined into one preferred skill entry with Grafana as an alternative, and ELK stack is captured separately as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
