Why we read it this way (4)
The role sits between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1244 (Network/Systems Admins): the JD emphasizes writing IaC, building CI/CD pipelines, and custom scripting (pointing to 15-1252), but also includes significant infrastructure operations and maintenance duties (pointing to 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the posting explicitly calls for coding/scripting to build custom workflows and participating in architecture and software development activities.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience' in one place, but the Qualifications section also lists it as a standalone hard requirement without the equivalency qualifier. Given the ambiguity, it has been treated as a hard requirement since it appears prominently in the Qualifications block.
The 2–4 years experience range maps to a Mid-level role on the career ladder despite the broad $90K–$135K salary range, which could stretch into Senior territory at the top end.
ECS and EKS are listed as alternatives to Docker for the containerization requirement, consistent with the JD's 'Docker, ECS, and/or EKS' framing.
