Why we read it this way (11)
This role is based at NSA Naples in Naples, Italy — a non-US location. The US-based flag is set to false; US labor market benchmarks will not apply.
The posting contains a typo in the title ('Azuer' instead of 'Azure'), but the actual job duties describe on-premises/hybrid virtualization administration (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Windows Server, storage, DR), not primarily Azure cloud engineering.
Degree requirement is set to None: the JD explicitly accepts an Associate's degree + 4 years, or a High School Diploma + 6 years, in lieu of a Bachelor's — equivalent experience is accepted at every tier.
Total years minimum is set to 2, reflecting the lowest stated threshold (Bachelor's + 2 years). Alternate paths require 4 or 6 years depending on education level.
VMware Certified is listed as a required OS certification ('At least 1 current Operating System Certification from the list (all preferred): VMware Certified'), with the parenthetical 'all preferred' referring to the broader certification list, not making the certification itself optional. Treated as a hard gate.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is explicitly required ('up to date DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II and DoD 8140 Intermediate System Administrator baseline certification').
RHEL certification and RMF process experience appear under 'Additional desired experience and skills' — listed as preferred.
Crystal Servers are mentioned in the experience description but are a niche/legacy product with no widely-used canonical name; omitted as a standalone skill given ambiguity.
No salary figures are provided in the posting despite a reference to a range 'at the top of this posting' — no compensation data was present in the supplied text.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
