Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based in Costa Rica (hybrid, near San Jose) — the US-based flag is set to false; US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary work is security analysis, threat detection, incident response, and DevSecOps governance (15-1212), but it also involves substantial hands-on infrastructure operation across Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and identity systems, which overlaps with 15-1244. 15-1212 was chosen because security analysis and policy enforcement are the stated primary mandate.
The 'Demonstrated experience in at least 3 of the following' clause means none of the listed sub-skills (Azure Entra ID, Istio, ArgoCD, Microsoft Defender XDR, OAuth/OIDC, Terraform, GitHub) is individually required — all are marked preferred accordingly.
Scripting/automation is required; Python is listed first with PowerShell and Bash as named alternatives — captured as one skill with alternatives.
AI tool experience (Claude, OpenAI, or similar) is explicitly required; Claude is listed as primary with OpenAI as a named alternative.
Security certifications (CISSP, CISM, etc.) and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR) appear under Preferred Qualifications.
n8n appears both in the responsibilities narrative and under Preferred Qualifications — marked preferred.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
