Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer' but the experience gate is only 3–7 years with containerized applications — the lower bound aligns with Mid-level; seniority is set to Mid accordingly.
The salary is posted as a single fixed figure ($165,000/year) with no stated range.
Go and Python appear together under a firm 'strong proficiency' requirement with an 'and/or' qualifier; both are captured as required with each listed as an alternative for the other.
Terraform, Packer, and Ansible appear together in the qualifications block under an 'or similar' qualifier; Terraform is the primary named tool with Packer and Ansible as alternatives. Packer and Ansible are also listed separately as preferred qualifications, so they are additionally captured as preferred skills.
The alt SOC (15-1244) is noted because the role has a meaningful infrastructure operations dimension (networking, release pipelines, incident response), but the explicit requirement to contribute production-quality code in Go/Python and own deployment pipelines tips the primary classification to Software Developers (15-1252).
Cybersecurity experience is listed as a required qualification but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Secrets management tools (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) appear under Preferred Qualifications; all three are captured with the latter two as alternatives.
