Why we read it this way (8)
The JD states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes IaC, builds CI/CD pipelines, and automates infrastructure (signals for 15-1252 Software Developers), but also operates and troubleshoots production systems (signals for 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverables — Terraform IaC, GitHub Actions pipelines, and automation scripts — are code that is built and shipped, not just systems that are run.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated in the JD; seniority was assessed as Mid based on the scope described (team-level delivery, no org-wide architectural authority, no people management).
AWS GovCloud, Argo CD/Flux, Node.js, MongoDB, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and OpenSearch all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section or in the 'Technologies You'll Work With' stack narrative and are therefore not hard gates.
Bash is listed as the primary scripting language in the required qualifications; Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript are listed as alternatives in the same requirement ('Bash, Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript').
No compensation range is disclosed in the posting.
