Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists no explicit 'Required' vs. 'Preferred' sections — all skills are drawn from a 'Top 3 Skills' block that reads as a combined required competency summary. Technologies within that block are treated as hard gates given the firm framing ('Top 3 Skills') and the Senior-level scope.
CyberArk and Saviynt are listed together as interchangeable PAM/IGA platform options; they are captured as alternatives of each other.
OAuth and OIDC are listed together and treated as a single interchangeable requirement.
IGA (Identity Governance & Administration) and Passwordless Authentication appear as sub-items within the governance skill cluster with slightly less emphasis; marked preferred to reflect that ambiguity.
No compensation, degree requirement, or employment type is stated in the posting.
The role straddles IAM engineering (hands-on implementation) and security architecture; 15-1212 Information Security Analysts is the primary code given the security-analysis and governance focus, with 15-1299 as a runner-up reflecting the deep engineering/architecture component.
