Why we read it this way (12)
The role is titled 'DevSecOps/SRE Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. The 3–7 year experience range and scope of responsibilities (team-level, not org-wide) support a Mid-level classification, though the upper end of the range and the federal compliance complexity could push toward Senior.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a significant operational/incident-management dimension that could support 15-1244. The code-building emphasis won out.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent combination of education and experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
Public Trust clearance is listed as a requirement to obtain and maintain, but it is not a US national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS); it is a federal suitability determination. Clearance_required is set to None accordingly.
Prometheus and Grafana are listed as examples alongside CloudWatch under a single monitoring/alerting requirement; they are captured as alternatives under one skill entry.
Jenkins and GitHub Actions are listed as examples of CI/CD tools under the same requirement; GitHub Actions is captured as an alternative.
Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible are listed as IaC tool examples under one requirement; CloudFormation and Ansible are captured as alternatives.
