Why we read it this way (9)

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes infrastructure-as-code, automation scripts, and CI/CD pipelines (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong operational/architecture-consulting flavor that could fit 15-1244. The code-writing emphasis (Terraform, Python, Bash, Go) tips the classification to 15-1252.

The JD lists a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field as a stated requirement — no 'or equivalent experience' qualifier is present, so it is treated as a hard degree gate.

The 5+ years overall experience requirement is at the role level (cloud engineering); the 3-year AWS figure is tied specifically to AWS production environments and is captured on the AWS skill.

Go and PowerShell appear under the requirements section but are explicitly framed as 'a plus', so they are marked preferred.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional and AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional certifications are listed as 'preferred' — not captured as skills per extraction rules (certifications are not named technologies), but noted here for the hiring manager.

AWS Organizations, zero-trust networking, service mesh, FinOps, and regulated-environment experience (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, FedRAMP) are all explicitly called out as 'a plus' or 'preferred' in the JD.

The data/analytics services (Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, Glue, Kinesis) appear in the Accountabilities narrative rather than the Requirements section and are marked preferred accordingly.

The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not disclosed.
