Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is a close call: the role writes and ships infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, IaC, CI/CD pipelines) which points to Software Developers (15-1252), but it also has a heavy operations and network-security administration component; 15-1244 is a credible runner-up.
The title says 'Lead' rather than 'Senior', but the scope — owning architecture, mentoring a team, and setting technical vision — is consistent with a Senior individual-contributor band rather than Staff/Principal, as the JD describes no org-wide or cross-org authority beyond this team.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering is listed as 'preferred' (not required), and equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
EC2, S3, VPC, CloudFormation, and IAM are listed parenthetically as examples of required AWS services knowledge; they are captured individually as hard gates because they appear within the Qualifications (required) section.
Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI are presented as interchangeable CI/CD tool options within the required qualifications; Jenkins is used as the primary skill name with the others listed as alternatives.
