Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits squarely between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators). The JD emphasizes building and owning infrastructure-as-code, GitOps pipelines, and automation — pointing to 15-1252 — but also includes significant operational responsibilities (cluster upgrades, cost management, incident response) more typical of 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the role is explicitly expected to architect, build, and own IaC and deployment systems, not merely operate them.
Amazon EKS is listed as a 'strong preference' within the Kubernetes requirement section, not a standalone hard gate — treated as preferred accordingly.
ArgoCD is listed as a 'strong preference' within the GitOps requirement — treated as preferred.
HashiCorp Vault is listed as a 'strong preference' within the secrets management requirement — treated as preferred.
Teleport, Boundary, and BeyondCorp appear together as examples of zero-trust access platforms under the same requirement; Teleport is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
The 'Advanced Domain Expertise (Plus)' section is explicitly framed as bonus/plus experience; all skills from that section (MQTT, Datadog/Coralogix, AWS GovCloud, NetFoundry/OpenZiti) are treated as preferred.
The role is hybrid initially with an expectation of transitioning to full in-office at the Seattle, WA location — not remote-eligible.
