Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting; the role involves migrating on-premises infrastructure to AWS, which may be performed remotely or on-site at the client — location is genuinely unclear, so remote is set to false as a conservative default.
The engagement is scoped as a consulting/migration project ('this engagement'), strongly suggesting a contract arrangement rather than a permanent hire, though the posting does not use the word 'contract' explicitly.
SOC classification is a close call: the role is primarily a SAS platform installation, configuration, and migration consultant — closer to systems analysis and implementation (15-1211) than pure systems administration (15-1244), but the hands-on server configuration and OS-level work (RHEL, Windows) adds meaningful 15-1244 signal.
The 3–5 years experience range is stated at the role level with no specific technology breakdown, so it is captured as the overall experience requirement.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so no formal degree is hard-required.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
