Why we read it this way (5)
The SOC classification is a judgment call: this role primarily BUILDS CI/CD pipelines, automation code, and IaC (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but has a meaningful infrastructure operations dimension (Kubernetes/OpenShift platform administration, cloud platform support) that could support 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen because the dominant day-to-day work is writing and shipping automation code.
Azure and GCP are listed together as a single preferred-cloud requirement ('preferably Azure and GCP') under Required Qualifications. They are emitted as separate skills since both are distinct platforms, but the posting treats them as a paired preference rather than hard-gating on either individually.
Terraform and Ansible appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly, even though they are described as 'preferred' within an IaC context that is otherwise required.
A Bachelor's degree is listed only under Preferred Qualifications, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Kubernetes and/or DevOps certifications and familiarity with AI agentic frameworks are listed as preferred but name no specific concrete technology product, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
