Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a genuine hybrid between enterprise security analysis (15-1212) and a broader security engineering/governance function; alt SOC 15-1299 reflects the AI governance ownership component, which has no clean BLS mapping.
The posting lists 'at least two of' endpoint security, network security, data security, security operations, threat management, and AI governance as required — meaning no single one of these sub-domains is individually a hard gate. They are marked as preferred to reflect that flexibility, while the overall 5+ years in enterprise security is the true hard gate.
Python, Ruby, and Go are presented as interchangeable options ('Python, Ruby, or Go'); Python is listed as the primary with Ruby and Go as alternatives.
The role is hybrid (3 days/week in-office in San Francisco); it is not fully remote. Up to 4 weeks/year remote flexibility is noted but does not make it a remote role.
Compensation range is specific to the San Francisco location; the posting notes actual pay depends on permissible factors and the range may change.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI governance, threat management, security operations.
