Why we read it this way (9)
The role is posted via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not disclosed.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role combines deep hands-on storage operations (15-1244) with meaningful automation and scripting work using Ansible, Terraform, and REST APIs (pointing toward 15-1252). The primary day-to-day work — designing, operating, and maintaining enterprise storage platforms — aligns more closely with systems administration/operations, so 15-1244 is chosen, with 15-1252 as the runner-up.
NetApp ONTAP and Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade are listed together as a single deep-expertise requirement ('Deep expertise with NetApp ONTAP or Pure Storage FlashArray/FlashBlade'); they are treated as interchangeable gates on the same capability.
Ansible and Terraform appear together in the requirements section as examples of automation tools ('tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and REST APIs'); each is captured separately as a hard gate since both are explicitly named under requirements.
FabricPool and CloudVolumes appear in the accountabilities section as examples of cloud-tiered storage technologies ('such as FabricPool, CloudVolumes, or equivalent platforms'), not in the requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
Storage certifications (NCDA, NCIE, Pure Storage) are explicitly listed under 'Preferred experience' and are marked accordingly.
Hybrid cloud storage replication, software-defined storage, petabyte-scale object storage, and AI/ML workloads are explicitly called out as 'a plus' and are marked preferred.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Hybrid cloud storage replication.
