Why we read it this way (6)
Location is not specified in the posting — no CBSA or state could be determined. The role may be remote or in an undisclosed metro; the remote flag is set to false as the posting gives no remote indication.
Clearance: the posting requires eligibility for a federal Public Trust background investigation (MBI or HBI) and US citizenship or permanent residency, but does NOT require an active security clearance. This is a suitability/background check, not a classified clearance, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes IaC and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) but also has a significant infrastructure operations and networking component (pointing to 15-1244). The code-writing emphasis — Terraform, CloudFormation/Bicep, Python/Bash/PowerShell scripting, pipeline integrations — tips the classification to 15-1252.
CloudFormation and Bicep appear together under 'preferred' in the required qualifications block ('Terraform required; CloudFormation or Bicep preferred'), so they are marked as preferred despite being in the qualifications section.
The AWS Solutions Architect certification (Associate/Professional) and Azure Solutions Architect Expert are listed as required; one or the other must be held. They are captured as a single required skill with the Azure cert as an alternative.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
