Why we read it this way (5)
The role sits at the boundary between infrastructure operations (15-1244) and software/IaC development (15-1252). The strong emphasis on Terraform, infrastructure-as-code, automation, and establishing patterns for others tips the classification toward 15-1252, but a reasonable case exists for 15-1244 given the heavy Windows Server/AD/storage/SQL Server administration scope.
Virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure, clustering, enterprise storage, and backup/recovery platforms are all explicitly required but named only generically — no specific vendor products (e.g. VMware, Nutanix, Veeam) are called out, so no individual skill entries were created for them.
Azure governance, monitoring, cloud security posture management, and endpoint security are required but named only at a capability level with no specific tooling called out; they are captured in the Azure skill rather than as separate entries.
Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-500, AZ-800, AZ-801) and Azure PaaS/platform engineering experience appear under Preferred Qualifications.
The client is Seattle-based and Pacific time zone alignment is required, but the role is fully remote.
