Why we read it this way (8)
This is a 250-day contract (not a permanent position), starting 7/1/2027, with a closing date of 7/23/2026 for applications.
The posting lists 'COMP TIA, Security+, CCISP' under required certificates. 'CCISP' appears to be a typo for 'CISSP' (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), which is how it has been interpreted here.
The role is titled 'Network Information Security Engineer/Analyst' — the title carries no seniority level, and the requirements describe independent but supervised work within a school district IT department, supporting a Mid-level classification.
The alt SOC (15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a genuine runner-up: the role includes network device security assessment and hardening of servers, switches, and routers alongside the security analysis duties.
The criminal justice fingerprint/background clearance listed is a standard employment background check for a school district, not a US government security clearance.
Location is inferred as the Salt Lake City metro area based on the contact email domain (lakemt.org), which is associated with Lake Mountain Middle School / Jordan School District area in Utah.
The job title references 'Lane H-J' which appears to be an internal pay-grade classification for the district.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
