Why we read it this way (7)

The role is titled 'Azure DevOps and Tools Administrator' and is classified at the ITS 14 (Information Technology Specialist 14) level in Michigan's state pay scale — no explicit seniority label in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The scope (3+ years of professional IT experience, technical leadership, complex platform administration) supports a Senior classification.

SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is framed as administration/operations of Azure DevOps, OpenShift, and the surrounding tool stack (15-1244), but the supplemental questions also probe CI/CD pipeline design and implementation, which leans toward 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1244 was chosen because the primary day-to-day framing is platform administration and support, not shipping application code.

Degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly offers multiple alternate pathways including high school completion plus experience, meaning no specific degree is hard-gated.

IIS, Apache Tomcat, JBoss, SQL Server, Windows, Linux, and Oracle are listed in the main position description as integration support targets ('support for integrations with IIS, Apache Tomcat, JBoss, SQL Server, Windows, Linux, Oracle etc.'). They are marked required as they appear in the core scope description, though the posting does not separately enumerate them as standalone skill gates.

The tools listed in supplemental question 10 (Black Duck, ELK, Coverity, Nginx-Plus, SonarQube, Quay) appear only in a supplemental screening question asking about experience level — not in a formal requirements section — so they are marked preferred.

The position is hybrid (2 days on-site in Lansing, MI; 3 days remote) and is not available to out-of-state applicants who do not plan to relocate. Remote is set to false accordingly.

A sign-on bonus of up to $2,500 is mentioned but no base salary range is stated in the posting.
