Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Canada (remote, open to candidates legally authorized to work in Canada) — US compensation benchmarks do not apply; salary is quoted in CAD.
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes TypeScript/Node.js platform code and builds tooling (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a heavy infrastructure operations and SRE flavor (pointing to 15-1244). The primary emphasis on building and shipping production tooling and pipelines tips the classification to 15-1252.
AWS CDK is listed as the preferred IaC tool ('preferably using AWS CDK'); the requirement is for IaC expertise broadly, so common alternatives such as Terraform and Pulumi are included.
GitHub Actions is listed with 'or similar platforms' — common CI/CD alternatives are captured accordingly.
The specific AWS service names (EKS, IAM, VPC, Lambda, CloudFront, S3) are all explicitly called out under the required qualifications block and are captured as individual required skills in addition to the parent 'AWS' skill.
The 'Nice to Have' section explicitly covers canary/blue-green/feature-flag deployments, FinOps, internal developer platforms, and cloud-native certifications (CKA/CKAD/CKS/KCSA/KCNA, Kubestronaut) — all marked as preferred.
No formal degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
