Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is titled 'Cloud Engineer' and includes infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Bicep/ARM), but the dominant day-to-day work described is operating and administering Azure, AVD, Entra ID, and M365 platforms — more operate-and-maintain than build-and-ship — which points to 15-1244. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible runner-up given the IaC and engineering framing.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent combination of education and work experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Terraform is listed as an example alongside Bicep and ARM templates ('e.g., Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates'); all three are captured as alternatives under one infrastructure-as-code skill since any one would satisfy the requirement.
SailPoint appears with 'or similar platforms,' making it a preferred/contextual reference rather than a hard gate; it is marked preferred accordingly.
Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio appear under an 'AI & Copilot Enablement' section framed as support/operationalization tasks rather than a gating requirement, and the posting describes them as 'emerging' capabilities — marked preferred.
The $80,000–$140,000 range is wide; the posting notes compensation depends on skill level, cost of living, experience, and responsibilities.
