Why we read it this way (6)
The title is 'Lead DevOps Engineer' but the role's primary day-to-day work — designing cloud-native infrastructure, building CI/CD pipelines, authoring TDDs/RFCs, creating reusable SDKs and libraries, and migrating to event-driven architectures — is squarely software development (15-1252). 15-1244 is listed as the runner-up given the DevOps/infrastructure framing, but the emphasis on building and shipping code tips the balance.
Python and Node.js are presented as interchangeable ('Python or Node.js'), so they are captured as a single requirement with alternatives. Both are also listed separately as preferred to reflect that the posting treats them as a choice rather than a dual requirement.
AWS and GCP are presented as a combined cloud platform ('AWS/GCP'); AWS is listed as the primary with GCP as an alternative. GCP is also listed separately as preferred since the posting does not clearly gate on both.
Terraform and Pulumi are presented as interchangeable ('Terraform/Pulumi') in the requirements section, so Terraform is the primary with Pulumi as an alternative.
The 'Great to Have' section (collaboration tools at 10,000+ users scale, open-source contributions, gaming industry passion) contains no concrete named technologies and was therefore omitted from the skills list.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
