Why we read it this way (11)
The role is titled 'Senior IAM Engineer' but gates on only 4+ years of IAM/IT experience, which aligns with a Mid-level band; seniority is assessed as Mid accordingly.
SOC classification is Medium-confidence: IAM engineering sits at the intersection of security analysis (15-1212) and broader IT/systems work (15-1299); the deployment, configuration, and integration focus tips it toward 15-1212.
Java and C# are listed as interchangeable ('Java, C#, or similar object-oriented programming language') — emitted as one skill with C# as an alternative.
LDAP and Active Directory are both named under the same enterprise-directories requirement and are treated as interchangeable alternatives of each other.
