Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. Remote eligibility is also unstated — remote=false is a conservative default.
Imperva is listed with the qualifier 'or comparable WAF technologies'; alternatives field captures this interchangeability, but the WAF capability itself is a hard gate.
Splunk is listed with the qualifier 'or another SIEM'; the SIEM capability is a hard gate, with Splunk as the named primary. SPL is listed as a distinct, named sub-skill (query language) and is treated as a separate required skill.
The security tools list (FireMon, BackBox, RSA, SolarWinds, Wireshark, ServiceNow) appears under Required Qualifications and is treated as hard-gated, though the JD does not explicitly say 'must have all'; a hiring manager should confirm whether all are truly eliminatory or whether the list is illustrative of the tool ecosystem.
Python/PowerShell scripting is listed under Required Qualifications with 'or similar languages'; both named options are captured as primary/alternative.
Security certifications (GSEC, GCIA, GCDA, CCSP, CISSP) are listed under Preferred Qualifications; GSEC is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives since they are all presented as equivalent options.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
