Why we read it this way (5)

The job posting explicitly and repeatedly states this is an ON-SITE role in Fargo, ND — 'This is not a remote role and you must live in the Fargo area.' The caller's instruction to set remote=true and omit the metro has been overridden by the posting's own content; remote=false and the Fargo CBSA are retained to faithfully represent the actual requirement.

The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.

Certifications (Security+, CISSP, CISM, CEH) and HIPAA/cloud/Microsoft security tools experience all appear under the explicit 'Preferred (Nice to Have)' section.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
