Why we read it this way (7)

The title is 'DevOps Engineer IV' but the job summary explicitly frames this as a 'Senior DevOps Engineer' role — advertised seniority is treated as Senior accordingly.

The 1-year duration and staffing-firm framing ('Client: Southern Company Services') indicate this is a contract engagement, not a direct full-time hire.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role primarily writes and ships CI/CD automation code and pipeline tooling (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but has a meaningful operational/administration component for Azure DevOps and GitHub platforms (which could support 15-1244). The code-building emphasis wins.

AKS and OpenShift appear together under Preferred Qualifications as a paired option; they are captured as a single preferred skill with AKS as primary and OpenShift as the alternative.

Agile/Scrum certifications are explicitly called 'a plus' in the preferred section and are not captured as skills since they are credentials rather than named technologies or tools.

No compensation figures were provided in the posting.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
