Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled simply 'DevOps Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 4+ years requirement and scope (joining an established team, building/optimizing pipelines) support a Mid-level classification rather than Senior.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the JD emphasizes building and automating CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also includes significant infrastructure administration, monitoring, and incident response work (pointing to 15-1244). The build/automation emphasis tips the balance to 15-1252.
AWS CDK is listed as required with Terraform named as an explicit equivalent ('or equivalent tool (i.e., Terraform)'); both are captured — CDK as the primary skill, Terraform in alternatives.
Source control familiarity is listed under Requirements with Bitbucket and GitLab given as examples; Bitbucket is used as the primary name (it also appears in the Tech Stack section), with GitLab in alternatives.
MySQL Aurora RDS is listed as the preferred relational database technology under Requirements ('Ideally MySQL Aurora RDS'); 'ideally' softens the specific product but the relational DB requirement itself is a hard gate — the skill is marked required.
SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 compliance are explicitly called out as responsibilities under Requirements and the role description; treated as hard gates.
The Tech Stack section lists Snowflake, Dataiku, Boomi, dbt, Hightouch, Sigma, HubSpot, Python, and Jira/Confluence as tools the team uses. These appear only in the stack narrative, not in the Requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in computer science or similar technical discipline, stated under Required Education and Experience with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
The posting notes 'Supervisory: Yes' but provides no detail on direct reports or people-management scope; the role reads as a hands-on IC DevOps engineer throughout, so this was not treated as a management role.
