Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is listed as Dallas, TX (hybrid) in the header but explicitly states '#LI-Remote' and 'fully remote' in the benefits section — remote=true reflects the authoritative body text.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role designs and builds network architecture using IaC (Terraform) and drives reliability engineering, which points to 15-1252 Software Developers; however, a significant portion of the work is operating and managing GCP network infrastructure (VPCs, Interconnects, firewall rules), which could support 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverable is building and automating infrastructure through code.
Python, Go, and Bash are listed together as interchangeable scripting options under the required qualifications; Go and Bash are captured as alternatives to Python.
Terraform is listed with 'or similar tools' — common substitutes (Pulumi, CloudFormation) are included as alternatives.
DNS, IAM, and VPC Service Controls appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than a distinct required-qualifications block; they are marked preferred accordingly.
US-based residency is explicitly required but is not a technical skill and is therefore not emitted as a skill.
