Why we read it this way (5)
The role sits at the boundary between software engineering (15-1252) and systems/infrastructure administration (15-1244). The posting explicitly expects engineers to be 'proficient and prolific software engineers' who build tooling and services, which tips the classification toward 15-1252, but the infrastructure operations scope is substantial.
Python, Java, Go, and Bash are listed together as 'languages in our ecosystem'; the hard gate is polyglot capability with advanced ability in at least one — Python is listed first and is the most common in infrastructure contexts, but any of the four satisfies the requirement. The alternatives field on the Python skill captures this interchangeability.
Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, DNS, and authentication services are cited as examples of systems a candidate should have 'owned and operated' — these appear in the qualifications block. DNS and authentication are listed as illustrative examples rather than standalone hard requirements, so DNS is marked preferred; Kubernetes and AWS are treated as hard gates given the repeated emphasis throughout the posting.
The '3–5+ years' range is used as the overall years minimum of 3 (the stated minimum), consistent with the posting's own caveat that years matter less than demonstrated impact.
Location is listed as hybrid (#LI-hybrid) but no specific city is named in the posting. Arcesium's known headquarters is New York, NY, which is used here as the CBSA.
