Why we read it this way (7)
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD states 'Relevant experience and certifications may substitute for the degree requirement,' so the degree requirement is set to None despite an Associate's degree being listed as required.
The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) rather than a developer SOC because the primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining existing infrastructure — firewalls, switching, wireless, identity services, device management — rather than building or shipping software. A secondary classification of 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted given the explicit cybersecurity duties (patching, vulnerability response, endpoint protection, content filtering).
Active Directory and Microsoft Entra are listed together throughout the JD as a paired identity platform; they are emitted as separate skills with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that the JD treats them as a combined stack rather than strict substitutes.
Certifications (CompTIA, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Jamf, Fortinet, Aruba, Extreme, VMware) appear under the Preferred section; only the most distinct named platforms are surfaced as preferred skills to avoid redundancy with required skills already captured.
The seniority band is Mid: the role requires 3 years of experience, involves Tier II/III support and broad operational ownership, but carries no architectural or cross-org leadership scope that would elevate it to Senior.
The title 'Technology Systems Engineer' carries no explicit level word, so the title states no level.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): endpoint management.
