Why we read it this way (7)

No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role may be remote or based at Grayscale's headquarters (Stamford, CT / New York area), but the JD does not confirm either.

The role sits at the intersection of security engineering and software development — it requires both hands-on coding/automation (Python, Terraform, IaC) and security-domain expertise (threat modeling, SSDLC, SIEM/SOAR). 15-1212 was chosen as primary because the security mandate (controls, detection, incident response, compliance) is the explicit focus; 15-1252 is a credible runner-up given the strong build-and-automate emphasis.

AWS is listed as 'preferably AWS' within the required qualifications block — the cloud-native security experience is a hard gate; AWS is the named preferred platform, with Azure/GCP as accepted alternatives.

Python and Terraform are cited together as examples of 'strong programming and scripting capabilities' in the required qualifications; both are named explicitly and treated as hard gates.

SIEM/SOAR is listed as a single compound requirement under required security tooling experience; SOAR is captured as an alternative since either satisfies the stated requirement.

AI/ML systems and LLMs are explicitly called out as 'a plus' — listed as preferred accordingly.

Financial services / regulated-environment experience is noted as 'preferably within financial services' — a preference, not a hard gate, so it is not emitted as a skill (it names no specific technology or tool).
