Why we read it this way (9)
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role involves both writing IaC code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep/ARM) and operating/architecting cloud network infrastructure. It was classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because IaC authorship and architecture design are primary deliverables, but Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244) is a credible alternative given the heavy networking and operations emphasis.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The experience range is stated as '5-7 years'; the minimum (5) is used for total years.
Zero Trust Architecture appears in both required and desired sections; it was captured under the required skills via the NIST/RMF/STIG compliance gate rather than as a standalone skill, since the posting treats it as a compliance framework element rather than a discrete tool.
VPC Flow Logs appears alongside named monitoring tools (Wireshark, CloudWatch, GuardDuty) in the requirements section but is a feature of AWS VPC rather than a standalone product; it is subsumed under the VPC skill.
Azure Bicep and Azure Resource Manager are listed in the responsibilities narrative rather than the formal requirements section, so they are marked preferred.
Certifications (AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert) appear only under Desired Qualifications and are not captured as skills per the schema's guidance on non-tool items.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
