Why we read it this way (5)

The posting states candidates 'must satisfy client security requirements and obtain/maintain applicable client background investigation and clearance' — the specific clearance level is not named, so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should be aware a clearance may be required and should clarify the level with the client.

The 6+ years DevOps/automation, 3+ years Terraform, and 2+ years OCI experience figures appear under Preferred Qualifications, not Required. However, 6 years is used as the overall years minimum as the most concrete overall experience signal in the posting.

OPA and Sentinel are listed together as interchangeable policy-as-code options under Preferred Qualifications.

Multi-cloud IaC experience and prior federal/CMS automation experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications and name no specific technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role primarily writes and ships IaC code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but has a meaningful infrastructure operations and provisioning dimension that could support 15-1244.
