Why we read it this way (8)

The role title carries no seniority level, but the requirements (12+ years overall IT, 10+ years infrastructure/DevOps/cloud, 8+ years architecture) firmly place this at the Senior band. Staff or Principal was considered but the JD describes a single-contributor delivery role with no explicit org-wide or cross-team architectural authority.

SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes IaC code (Terraform) and builds automation, pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers, but also has a strong systems/operations flavor (cloud administration, migrations, monitoring) that could support 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverables — IaC authoring, automation engineering, and platform engineering — involve writing and shipping code.

Kubernetes and Docker appear together under Preferred Skills as 'or other container technologies,' so they are listed as alternatives of each other as well as separate preferred entries.

The degree requirement ('Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field') is stated without an 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.

AWS and Azure certifications are explicitly listed as preferred, not required — they are omitted from the skills list as they are credentials rather than concrete technologies.

Candidate must be a South Carolina resident; no relocation is offered. This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per month onsite in Columbia, SC.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AWS Cost Management.

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