Why we read it this way (7)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Systems Administrators (15-1244) because the JD centers on building and shipping infrastructure code — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automation, and distributed systems — rather than operating pre-existing systems. The alt code (15-1244) is noted given the operational/SRE framing.
The posting lists three primary locations (Lexington/MA, Austin TX, and MD) but is explicitly 100% remote; the CBSA reflects the company's founding location in Lexington, MA.
AWS is listed as 'preferred' within the cloud infrastructure requirement ('AWS preferred'), but the broader cloud infrastructure requirement itself is a hard gate; AWS is marked required with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
Terraform and CloudFormation are presented as examples of infrastructure-as-code tools within a required section; Terraform is listed as primary with CloudFormation as an alternative.
Cybersecurity/vulnerability management domain experience appears in the required qualifications section and is a genuine gate, but it names no specific technology or tool, so it is not captured as a skill per extraction rules.
Observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
