Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not stated in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role is tied to an OIT (Office of Information Technology) work unit requiring CJIS background checks — likely a state/local government agency, but no city or state is named.
The CJIS/background-check requirement is a vetting gate, not a US government security clearance in the DoD/IC sense, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
This role sits at the boundary between Software Developers (15-1252) and Network/Systems Administrators (15-1244). The strong emphasis on authoring IaC with Terraform, building CI/CD pipelines, and scripting in Python/Bash tips it toward 15-1252; however, the significant operational duties (on-call rotation, Tier-2 break-fix, VPC/networking configuration) make 15-1244 a credible runner-up.
The five-year minimum is stated twice — once for GCP infrastructure experience and once for IaC/Terraform — and appears to be the same overall experience gate rather than two additive requirements; the overall years minimum is set to 5.
CI/CD pipeline tools (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect, Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer.
