Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Site Reliability Engineer' but the JD emphasizes writing, testing, and maintaining code for shared services and tools — consistent with a software-development-heavy SRE function rather than a pure ops/infrastructure role. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the primary classification; 15-1244 is the runner-up given the SRE framing around reliability practices, on-call, and incident management.
All named technologies (AWS, Java, Kotlin, React.js) appear only under a 'Who we are' section framed as 'Familiarity with … and/or', making them clearly preferred rather than hard gates.
Java and Kotlin are listed together with 'and/or', so they are treated as interchangeable alternatives of each other.
Compensation is presented across geographic pay tiers (Tier 1: $85K–$127K; Tier 2: $94K–$142K; Tier 3: $104K–$156K; Tier 5: $118K–$178K). The bottom of the pay band/max reflect the full range across all tiers; the actual offer will depend on the candidate's work location.
No work location is specified beyond 'United States of America' across multiple pay tiers; the CBSA is left blank accordingly.
No total years of experience are required; the scope and framing (develop, test, maintain, learn new technologies) support a Mid-level classification despite the SRE title carrying no explicit level.
