We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
This is a generalist IT operations / IT support role — the posting names no specific software products, platforms, or tooling (no MDM product, ticketing system, identity provider, etc.), making the skills list unusually sparse. The few concrete capabilities called out (device management, network troubleshooting, access controls) are drawn from the role description's explicit requirements language.
The role is fully in-person at Parallel's Palo Alto HQ and San Francisco office — remote is not available.
The CBSA is coded to San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA (41940), which covers Palo Alto; the SF office is secondary.
The alternative occupation 15-1299 is noted because the role blends general IT support/helpdesk work with systems administration — it does not map cleanly to a single SOC occupation.
No compensation figures are disclosed; benefits include equity, 401K, daily meals, unlimited PTO, and Caltrain reimbursement.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): device management, network troubleshooting, vendor management.
