What this job asks for AI summary
A senior platform-engineering role on a federal DevSecOps contract supporting the FDIC's CI/CD and automated-testing infrastructure. The position centers on designing and maintaining self-service pipeline templates, golden-path tooling, and policy-as-code guardrails across a hybrid estate (Azure/AKS, AWS, on-premises, and mainframe), while also leading governed adoption of AI coding assistants. It suits a seasoned platform engineer with deep CI/CD, supply-chain security, and technical leadership experience in large enterprise or regulated federal environments.

Why we read it this way (13)
The role is titled 'Developer Experience Lead' and framed as a senior Key Personnel position — the title carries no explicit seniority word, but the posting's own framing ('senior subject-matter expert', 12–15 years typical) clearly presents it as Senior.
SOC classification is Medium-confidence: the role primarily BUILDS platform software (golden-path pipelines, policy-as-code frameworks, self-service tooling, IaC governance) which maps to Software Developers (15-1252), but it also has a strong platform-operations and systems-administration flavor that could support 15-1244. The software-building emphasis wins.
Degree requirement is None: the JD explicitly accepts 4 additional years of relevant experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
The 12-year minimum is stated as a role-level experience floor ('Minimum 12 years of progressive software-engineering or platform-engineering experience'); the '3 recent hands-on years' is a sub-requirement within that floor, not a separate total.
Public Trust determination is required (not a formal security clearance), so the clearance requirement is None.
Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript are listed as interchangeable options for 'at least one modern programming language' — emitted as a single required skill with alternatives.
GitHub Actions is listed with 'Harness, or comparable' as the required CI/CD platform; Harness captured as an alternative. The open-ended 'or comparable' is satisfied by the named alternatives.
SonarQube is listed alongside GitHub Advanced Security/CodeQL, JFrog Xray, and Aqua/Trivy as examples of required security-scanning tooling; all captured as alternatives on one skill.
Bicep, Flux, Backstage, GitHub Pages, SharePoint, JFrog Artifactory, Subject7, and Claude Code appear under Preferred Qualifications or as 'a plus' callouts and are marked preferred accordingly.
DORA metrics, Agile/Scrum, and product-management practices are required but name no specific tool or platform, so they are not emitted as discrete skills per extraction rules.
The pay range ($131,300–$237,350/year) is stated as a general guideline, not a guarantee.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53, NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
