Why we read it this way (9)
SOC classification is a genuine split: the role writes production-grade guardrail and evaluation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) but its primary framing is AI safety, red-teaming, threat modeling, and security analysis (pointing to 15-1212 Information Security Analysts). 15-1212 was chosen because the security/safety analysis mandate — red-teaming, threat modeling, OWASP LLM Top 10, governance — is the explicit primary focus, with software engineering as an enabling skill rather than the end product.
Degree requirement is marked None: the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience' in lieu of the stated Bachelor's/Master's.
The safety evaluation / red teaming skill is listed as a single requirement where the JD gates on 'at least one of' the two — they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same gate.
Industry safety tooling (garak, PyRIT, promptfoo, Giskard, NeMo Guardrails) and governance frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act) appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
MITRE ATLAS and STRIDE/PASTA appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' as threat-modeling methodology examples.
Reinforcement learning experience appears under 'Preferred Qualifications' ('Engineering experience with agents, RL environments, and/or tool use').
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): OWASP LLM Top 10.
