Why we read it this way (5)

The role is a genuine hybrid between software/platform engineering (automation, IaC, scripting, CI/CD) and systems/infrastructure operations (Linux server administration, monitoring, incident response). 15-1252 was chosen because the JD emphasizes building and automating infrastructure through code (Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, Python scripting) rather than purely operating existing systems; 15-1244 is a close runner-up.

The tools listed in the Requirements section (Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, Artifactory, Splunk, Netbox, Prometheus, Grafana) are introduced with 'e.g.' but appear within a hard-requirements block under 'Solid understanding of DevOps practices.' Per the section-placement rule, they are treated as hard gates even though the qualifier signals the specific tools are interchangeable.

Low latency systems experience is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.

The role is listed as Work From Home and MEMX operates across 18 US states; no single metro is identifiable.

The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a technical field with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard gate.
