Why we read it this way (4)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the title says 'SRE' and the role includes scripting/automation, but the day-to-day work is primarily OPERATING and troubleshooting production trading infrastructure (monitoring, incident response, client onboarding, observability dashboards) rather than building and shipping software. 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the primary classification; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the scripting emphasis.
The observability/monitoring tools requirement lists eight named tools as a group with 'or' between them. Splunk is listed first and used as the primary skill name; all others (Grafana, Prometheus, Nagios, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch, ELK Stack) are captured as alternatives since the posting treats them as interchangeable options satisfying the same requirement.
Fidessa is explicitly called out as 'a plus' and is therefore marked as preferred.
