Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is tagged '#LI-Onsite' but does not name a specific city. Impact is headquartered in the Chicago metro area; the CBSA has been inferred from that — confirm the exact work location with the employer.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes IaC and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) but also heavily operates and manages Azure infrastructure for clients (pointing to 15-1244 Network/Systems Admins). The IaC and scripting emphasis tipped the primary classification to 15-1252.
ARM Templates, Bicep, and Terraform are listed together as acceptable IaC tools ('such as'); ARM Templates is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
PowerShell and Python are listed together as a scripting requirement; PowerShell is the primary name with Python as an alternative. Power Automate is explicitly called 'a plus' and is marked preferred.
AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect Expert) is listed as 'Required or in progress' — treated as a hard gate. AZ-104, AZ-500, AZ-700, and SC-300 are listed under 'Preferred certifications' and are marked preferred.
Remote Desktop Services is mentioned in the qualifications narrative but is a Windows Server feature rather than a distinct named product; it is subsumed by the Azure Virtual Desktop and hybrid infrastructure requirements and was not emitted as a separate skill.
