Why we read it this way (7)

The role has two primary locations — Salisbury, NC and Quincy, MA — with a hybrid 3-days-in-office requirement. The CBSA is mapped to Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia (Salisbury, NC); the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA CBSA (14460) is the second location.

The title 'III' is treated as a Senior-level advertised seniority, consistent with standard engineering ladder conventions.

The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes IaC and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) but also has heavy operational/networking/infrastructure administration duties (pointing to 15-1244). The primary framing — designing reusable cloud modules, IaC, policy enforcement, SLO/SLA engineering — tips it toward 15-1252, with 15-1244 as a close runner-up.

The 4-year networking/identity/governance block is listed under Required Qualifications as 'at least 4 years of hands-on operational experience supporting the following or related experience,' followed by a long list of Azure services. All named technologies in that block are marked required; the 'or related experience' qualifier means the specific tool is interchangeable, not that the requirement is optional.

Containers/serverless and CI/CD are explicitly called out with 'familiarity with' language in the required section — a softer gate — so CI/CD is marked preferred. Kubernetes/OpenShift appear in the 4-year required block and are marked required.

Azure Certifications, cost optimization/tagging, and backup/DR patterns appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked preferred.

No compensation range was provided in the posting.
