Why we read it this way (9)
The title 'DevOps Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level, but the 3–5 year experience requirement and the framing of working 'alongside' a Senior DevOps Engineer point to a mid-level individual contributor.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes cluster work), which favors 15-1252 Software Developers, but it also has a meaningful operational component (on-call, incident response, Linux/systems administration) that could support 15-1244. The primary emphasis on building and evolving systems tips the classification to 15-1252.
EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda, and CloudWatch are all listed together as a single AWS experience requirement under Required Qualifications; they are extracted as individual skills for granularity.
Terraform and CloudFormation are presented as interchangeable ('tools like Terraform or CloudFormation') under Required Qualifications, so Terraform is the primary with CloudFormation as an alternative.
Vault and AWS Secrets Manager are listed together as examples of secrets management under Required Qualifications; treated as interchangeable alternatives on a single required skill.
Datadog, Prometheus, and Grafana appear together as observability tooling examples under Required Qualifications; Datadog is the primary (also named in the responsibilities section) with Prometheus and Grafana as alternatives.
PagerDuty appears only in the responsibilities narrative ('What You'll Do'), not in the qualifications sections, so it is marked preferred.
SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications.
