Why we read it this way (7)

The role title is 'AWS Cloud Engineer' but the requirements and accountabilities equally cover Azure (core services, ARM templates, Azure certifications), making this a genuine dual-cloud role. SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen over 15-1244 (Network/Systems Admins) because the JD emphasizes building and automating infrastructure via IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized deployments — shipping code — rather than primarily operating existing systems.

Clearance: the JD states 'ability to obtain required government security clearance' and lists government/federal experience as preferred, but does not gate the role on holding an active clearance. Clearance is therefore not marked as required.

The Bachelor's degree requirement is stated as a hard gate in the Requirements section with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.

Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates are listed as interchangeable IaC options under a single requirement ('such as'); similarly Python, PowerShell, and Bash are interchangeable scripting options. Each group is emitted as one skill with alternatives.

Cloud certifications (AWS and Microsoft) are explicitly listed as 'preferred' and are marked accordingly.

Agile/SAFe experience is explicitly listed as preferred.

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
