Why we read it this way (8)
No work location is specified in the posting; AIT is headquartered in Rockledge, FL (Melbourne, FL CBSA) but the JD does not confirm this role's site — metro left blank.
The security clearance statement says 'This position may require a government security clearance' and ITAR citizenship requirements apply, but neither is a hard gate on holding an active clearance at hire — clearance is flagged as possible, not required.
The degree requirement is listed as 'preferred' and explicitly allows 'equivalent combination of education and relevant ERP experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 5-year minimum is stated as 'preferred' in the JD's phrasing ('preferred'), but it is the only experience floor given and is treated as the effective minimum for the role.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role blends enterprise application administration (15-1244) with systems analysis, integration design, and process improvement (15-1211). The integration, reporting, and business-process advisory duties tip the primary classification toward 15-1211, with 15-1244 as a close runner-up.
PowerShell and Python are listed together as interchangeable scripting options ('PowerShell, Python, or similar') under the duties/responsibilities narrative, not a hard-requirements section — marked preferred.
SugarCRM and CATIA appear as named systems in the duties narrative (stack context) rather than in a gated requirements block — marked preferred.
Middleware appears in the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities section as 'familiarity with APIs, integration patterns, middleware' — the word 'familiarity' signals a preferred rather than hard-gated skill.
