Why we read it this way (6)
The title reads 'Application Security Engineer III' but the body consistently frames this as a 'Senior Application Security Engineer' role — advertised seniority is called Senior based on that explicit framing.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is primarily security analysis and governance (SAST/DAST integration, Secure SDLC, vulnerability management), pointing to 15-1212, but it also involves hands-on engineering work (building container image pipelines, CI/CD tooling), which could support 15-1252. 15-1212 was chosen as the primary because security analysis and standards-setting dominate the described responsibilities.
Docker and Kubernetes appear only under Preferred Qualifications ('e.g.' examples of container platforms), so both are marked preferred. They are listed separately because they are distinct tools used together, not interchangeable substitutes — though the posting does present them as examples of the same category.
The bachelor's degree requirement accepts 'equivalent work experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.
CISSP, CISM, CSSLP, and GWAPT are listed as 'highly desirable' certifications under Preferred Qualifications; CISSP is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): open-source/dependency vulnerability scanning.
