Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is titled 'W2 Only (No C2C or 1099)' and lists an annual salary range, but the engagement is a contract (W2 contract), not a permanent full-time hire — classified accordingly.
The role blends security analysis (DLP, SIEM, incident response, threat analysis) with secure platform architecture (Kubernetes, containers, IaC, CI/CD), making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1212 Information Security Analysts and 15-1244 Network/Systems Admins. The primary day-to-day emphasis on data protection, incident investigations, and governance tips it toward 15-1212.
SIEM, DLP, and endpoint monitoring tools are listed together in the required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section with 'or' framing — SIEM is named as the primary skill with DLP and endpoint monitoring as alternatives on that single requirement line; DLP is also separately called out as a core data protection platform throughout the posting and is treated as its own required skill.
Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code appear in the 'Secure Platform Architecture' responsibilities section (narrative/duties context) rather than in an explicit required qualifications block — marked as preferred.
No specific degree is hard-required; the posting explicitly offers experience substitutions for associate's and bachelor's degrees, so the degree requirement is set to None.
