Why we read it this way (9)
The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and application security — the primary day-to-day work is writing Python scripts and integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines, which maps most closely to Software Developers (15-1252); Information Security Analysts (15-1212) is a credible runner-up given the DevSecOps/SAST/DAST/SCA focus.
SAST, DAST, and SCA are listed as required capabilities in the Must Haves section but no specific named tool (e.g. Checkmarx, Snyk, Veracode) is called out — they are captured as named security-gate categories rather than specific products.
CI/CD is required ('working knowledge of modern CI/CD orchestration tools') but no specific platform (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) is named.
Java is listed under Nice to Haves ('ability to comfortably read and navigate Java source code') and is therefore preferred, not required.
Wiz is cited as an example CNAPP/ASPM platform under Nice to Haves — marked preferred accordingly.
The posting mentions 'USD-based pay' but provides no specific compensation figures.
The role requires US work authorization but does not specify a fixed office location; the 'remote and office options' phrasing and follow-the-sun pod structure suggest remote eligibility, so remote is set to true. No specific metro or state is identified.
The 3–5 year range maps to Mid seniority; the title 'Python Engineer' carries no explicit level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
