Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is framed as a 'full-stack developer with a DevSecOps mindset' and emphasizes writing and shipping code (pipelines, tooling, modernization projects), which points to 15-1252 Software Developers. However, the DevSecOps/platform-operations framing and the security-scanning toolchain could also suggest 15-1244; 15-1252 wins because the primary deliverable is code.
The programming language requirement lists Python, JavaScript/Node.js, ObjectScript, and Go as alternatives — one of these is required, so Python is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives.
GitLab and Perforce both appear in the required qualifications section ('familiarity with tools such as GitLab, Perforce…'), but Perforce also appears under Preferred Qualifications. Because the required section names it first, it is marked required; however, the 'such as' qualifier and its repetition under Preferred create genuine ambiguity — it may be closer to preferred in practice.
The degree requirement lists Bachelor's or Master's in a STEM field, but the phrasing does not explicitly exclude equivalent experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Compensation is stated as a base salary range of $92,000–$118,000 USD per year; additional discretionary variable incentive is mentioned but not quantified.
