Why we read it this way (7)
The compensation range ($220K–$320K/yr) is stated as California-specific; final offers depend on level, location, and skills.
The role is classified as 15-1252 (Software Developers) because the JD centers on building and owning infrastructure — Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and observability tooling — rather than purely operating systems someone else built. 15-1244 is noted as a runner-up given the significant operational/on-call component.
The observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki) is listed as a single 'or equivalent' requirement; all four named tools are captured as separate required skills since the JD presents them as a fluency requirement, not a pick-one list.
The CI/CD requirement names GitHub Actions, Bazel, and Buildkite as alternatives; Bazel also appears separately under the optional section as a build-system skill.
GitHub Enterprise administration, Bazel build systems, ML-platform infrastructure, and RAG/knowledge-platform operations are explicitly marked '(Optional)' in the posting and are captured as preferred.
No specific city or CBSA is mentioned; the California pay range and company context suggest a Bay Area location, but this cannot be confirmed from the posting alone.
The posting mentions potential EAR/ITAR export-control implications but does not gate on a security clearance.
