Why we read it this way (8)
SOC classification is Medium-confidence: the role writes automation code, builds infrastructure tooling, and designs performance testing frameworks (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong operational/run dimension — on-call, incident management, SLA monitoring — that could support 15-1244. The primary day-to-day work of building and shipping automation and tooling tips the classification to 15-1252.
Terraform, Ansible, and Chef are listed together as a single requirement ('Proficiency in Terraform, Ansible or Chef'); Terraform is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
JMeter, Gatling, and Azure Load Testing are listed as interchangeable performance/load testing tools; JMeter is used as the primary name.
OpenTelemetry (Otel) is mentioned as 'preferred' alongside the Grafana Stack in the responsibilities section rather than under a hard requirements heading.
