Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'DevOps Team Lead' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level; the 5+ years requirement and team-lead scope support a Senior classification.
OpenTofu is listed as the primary IaC tool with Terraform called out explicitly as compatible/equivalent — both are captured under one skill with Terraform as an alternative.
AI/ML workflows familiarity is listed in the requirements section but framed with 'Familiarity with' — a softer gate than the firm language used for GCP and OpenTofu/Terraform, so it is marked preferred.
The role sits between 15-1252 (Software Developers — builds IaC, CI/CD, automation code) and 15-1244 (Systems Admins — operates/maintains infrastructure). The emphasis on owning deployments, writing IaC, and enabling AI experimentation infrastructure tips it toward 15-1252, but 15-1244 is a genuine runner-up given the strong operational/incident-response focus.
Compensation is stated as a base salary range of $125,000–$145,000/year; the posting notes additional bonus eligibility may apply.
