Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Engineering Manager (AWS)' but the actual work is managing a team of 4–6 cloud security consultants through CMMC compliance engagements — a people-management role with direct reports, workload allocation, and practice development. 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary classification; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the runner-up given the heavy security-consulting and hands-on technical competency requirements.
Aprio is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, but the posting explicitly offers remote and hybrid options with no single required office location. CBSA is set to Atlanta as the firm's home base.
Security clearance is listed as 'preferred' only — not a hard gate.
Master's degree is listed as 'preferred'; Bachelor's in a related field is the stated minimum requirement.
The Microsoft security certifications (SC-200, SC-300, SC-400, AZ-500) are listed in the Qualifications section with firm language ('Holds any…'), treated as a hard gate on holding at least one; the alternatives field captures the interchangeable options.
CMMC expertise is treated as a hard gate given the role's entire practice is built around CMMC Level 2 certification consulting.
The '4+ years managing security consultants' requirement is a role-level gate captured in the overall years minimum (10+ years overall); the 4-year management sub-requirement has no named technology and is not emitted as a skill.
The '5+ hands-on experience implementing Microsoft security solutions' is a role-level sub-requirement subsumed under the overall years minimum; no specific technology the years demanded are stated for individual tools.
