Why we read it this way (6)
Smile Digital Health is a Canadian company (Toronto-based); the role is fully remote but no US-specific location is stated, so the US-based flag is set to false. The candidate pool may be global or Canada-first.
The role title is 'DataOps Engineer' with no seniority modifier, but 6+ years of experience and end-to-end ownership of infrastructure and pipelines support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role genuinely bridges DevOps/infrastructure-as-code (15-1252) and data pipeline/architecture work (15-1243); the primary emphasis on building and shipping CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and Spark infrastructure tips it toward Software Developers.
Terraform and Ansible are listed as a required pair with 'or equivalent'; AWS CloudFormation and Azure ARM Templates are explicitly called out as a plus (nice-to-have) in the same sentence.
Java and Scala are listed as alternatives ('Java or Scala applications'); Python is listed separately as a distinct, primary requirement.
No compensation figures are disclosed in the posting.
