Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Toronto, Canada (with a Montreal office also mentioned); US-based benchmarks will not apply.
The posting lists a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field as the minimum education requirement, with a Master's noted as an asset.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily security analysis and operations (15-1212), but a meaningful portion of the work involves building automation, SOAR playbooks, and KQL detections, which edges toward software development (15-1252).
AWS security services (IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config) are listed under 'Familiarity with' — a softer qualifier — so they are marked preferred. AWS environment experience itself is listed as a required experience item.
PowerShell and Python appear together as 'PowerShell and/or Python automation' in the required Technical Expertise section; emitted as a single skill with Python as an alternative.
All certifications (SC-200, SC-300, SC-100, CISSP, AWS Security Specialty) are listed under 'Preferred Certifications' and are not captured as skills per the schema's guidance on non-technology requirements.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting; currency defaulted to CAD given the Canadian employer and location.
