Why we read it this way (6)
The posting title carries no seniority label, but the 7+ years requirement and scope (architecture decisions, mentoring, platform ownership) support a Senior classification.
Cloud Run, GKE, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Storage appear in the responsibilities narrative describing the team's GCP stack rather than in the Required Qualifications block; they are marked preferred accordingly.
Terraform and Cloud Build appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
CI/CD is listed under Preferred Qualifications alongside Terraform.
Observability tooling (logging, metrics, tracing) is required but names no specific product, so no concrete skill entry was emitted for it.
The alt SOC (15-1244) is noted because the role has meaningful infrastructure/orchestration responsibilities, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly building and shipping backend software.
