Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'DevOps Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title, but the body opens with '8 years of hands-on experience' and includes mentoring, architecture decisions, and release governance — requirements consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor, which aligns with the posting's own 'Individual Contributor' employee status.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role emphasizes building and owning CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code toolchains, and automation (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a meaningful operational/systems-administration flavor (Kubernetes operations, artifact management, deployment troubleshooting) that could support 15-1244.
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's' but does not state it as a hard gate with no experience alternative, and the phrasing is ambiguous; the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
Specific AWS services (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS) are called out explicitly in the requirements section and are captured as individual skills in addition to the parent 'AWS' skill.
TM Vault (core banking) knowledge is explicitly flagged as 'Good to have' and is marked preferred.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
