Why we read it this way (8)
This role sits at the intersection of security engineering and software development — the primary day-to-day work is building and architecting IAM solutions (SailPoint, CyberArk, SSO integrations), which leans toward 15-1212 Information Security Analysts, but the heavy programming emphasis (5+ years of coding languages required) makes 15-1252 Software Developers a credible alternative.
The programming language requirement lists Java/Java EE, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, SQL, Python, Perl, PHP, or Ruby as a group — these are presented as interchangeable options for the 5+ years of programming experience gate. Java is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives; SQL is emitted separately as it is a distinct, complementary technology rather than a substitute.
HTML/CSS is omitted as a standalone skill because in this IAM/security context it appears incidental to the broader programming requirement and names no distinct tool gate.
LDAP, SSO, Shibboleth/OpenID Connect, Active Directory, and cloud IAM platforms (Azure, Okta, OneLogin, Oracle Identity Manager) appear under the 'What You'll Do' narrative section rather than a hard-requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
Compliance frameworks (HIPAA, NIST, FERPA, SOX) are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
A Master's degree is explicitly preferred, not required; the posting accepts equivalent work experience in lieu of a Bachelor's, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting is placed by TalentFish, a staffing firm, on behalf of an unnamed end client — the actual employer is not identified.
