Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Software/Security Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; however, the requirements describe 'expert level' proficiency in AWS edge services and Terraform, plus 'deep experience' with enterprise bot management — consistent with a Senior engineer.
The posting lists three possible office locations: New York, NY; Century City, CA; and Aliso Viejo, CA. The CBSA is set to New York as the first-listed location; the role could equally be based in the Los Angeles metro (CBSA 31080).
The role is hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote) — not fully remote.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends software/platform engineering (IaC, CDN systems, edge compute) with security engineering (bot mitigation, WAF, zero-trust, fraud defenses). The primary day-to-day work leans toward building and operating infrastructure systems, so 15-1252 is preferred over 15-1212.
Fraud detection/intelligence platform integration is explicitly called 'a plus' in the required section — treated as preferred.
All skills listed under 'Preferred Skills and Qualifications' are marked preferred. The 'bot management platforms' skill uses the named commercial tools as alternatives since the JD accepts any of them.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): CDN architecture.
