Why we read it this way (5)
This role sits at the boundary between system/infrastructure administration (15-1244) and software development (15-1252). The title is 'System Administrator/DevOps Engineer' and the primary day-to-day work is administering and maintaining an existing MMIS application environment (RHEL, WebLogic, Oracle RDS on AWS), but a significant deliverable is building a cloud-native POC — writing automation scripts and re-architecting the application — which leans toward 15-1252. 15-1244 was chosen as the primary code because the operational/administration duties are framed first and most extensively; 15-1252 is the close runner-up.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or higher … or equivalent,' so no hard degree gate is set.
Dynatrace, Jython, WLST, Lambda, ECS/EKS, JBoss, PostgreSQL, and containerization appear in the responsibilities/POC narrative rather than the explicit SKILLS gate list, so they are marked preferred.
Healthcare data management and compliance standards are explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.
No compensation was stated in the posting.
