Why we read it this way (7)
The posting blends two overlapping role descriptions: a general 'Mainframe Systems Engineer' (Requirements section) and a more specific 'Senior z/OS Systems Programmer' focused on IBM System Automation and IBM Z NetView (Key Responsibilities / Preferred Technical Skills section). The title used in the second framing ('Senior z/OS Systems Programmer') is treated as the advertised seniority signal.
The degree requirement accepts a Bachelor's degree with 6 years OR a High School Diploma/GED with 10 years — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None. The 6-year figure is used as the overall years minimum (the lower of the two paths).
z/OS, CICS, MQ, DB2, and SMP/E appear in the hard Requirements section and are marked required. IBM System Automation, IBM Z NetView, REXX, JES2, TSO, ISPF, GDPS, and RACF all appear under the 'Preferred Technical Skills' section and are marked preferred.
The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) because the primary day-to-day work is operating, configuring, and maintaining mainframe infrastructure. However, the scripting/automation development duties (REXX scripts, automation policies) introduce a meaningful 15-1252 (Software Developers) signal, hence the alternate SOC.
The position is described as 'offsite/remote-primary' but preferably near a Regions office, with occasional on-site requirements. It is not fully remote; remote is set to false.
Compensation is quoted as a range (minimum to median) rather than a min-to-max band — the posting explicitly labels these as 'Minimum' and 'Median' market reference points, not a negotiated range. The figures are reported as given.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): IBM System Automation.
