Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the CBSA fields are left blank. The role is US-based (Truist Financial is a US company and the posting references US work authorization).
The title is simply 'Cybersecurity Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The hard minimum is 3 years of experience in security engineering, which maps to Mid-level; the preferred qualification of 6 years is in the Preferred section and does not raise the hard gate.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent education, training, and work-related experience,' so equivalent experience is explicitly accepted — no formal degree is hard-required.
CrowdStrike Falcon is listed in the Required Qualifications section as the primary EDR platform administered in this role, making it a hard gate. The posting notes comparable solutions (Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne) as acceptable alternatives in the Preferred section, but the platform is central to the role's essential duties.
All endpoint OS coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux), MITRE ATT&CK, SIEM integration, scripting (PowerShell/Python/osquery/Logscale), cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), and advanced Falcon modules (Falcon Identity Protection, Logscale) appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
A 'For a Build Engineer' paragraph appears at the end of Preferred Qualifications; it seems to be boilerplate or a copy-paste artifact unrelated to this cybersecurity engineering role and has not been extracted as skills.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
