This is a 6-month contract engagement at Southern Company Services in Atlanta, GA — no compensation figures were provided.
The posting is titled 'DevOps Engineer IV', which maps to a Senior-level IC role; the 10-year experience requirement is consistent with Senior.
GCP is listed as 'preferred' within the Required Qualifications section alongside Azure and Databricks as interchangeable cloud platform options — all three are treated as a single hard-gated cloud platform requirement. GCP and Azure are also separately listed under Preferred Skills, but their appearance in the Required section is authoritative.
Terraform and Bicep are listed together in Required Qualifications as IaC tools; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same hard gate.
Scripting/automation skills are required but no specific language is named in the Required section; Python and PowerShell appear only in the Preferred Skills list and are marked accordingly.
Docker, Databricks, LangChain, Agentic AI (captured as LLMs), FinOps, and IAM all appear exclusively in the Preferred Skills section and are marked as preferred.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role writes and ships IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a significant infrastructure operations and monitoring component that could support 15-1244.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
