Why we read it this way (7)
This is a 12-month contract engagement, hybrid in Atlanta, GA.
The rate range ($57.32–$62.32) is quoted with no explicit 'per hour' label in the title line, but the format and context strongly indicate an hourly rate — treated as hourly.
Skills under 'Desired Skills & Experience' (security automation, scripting, network security engineering, identity management, cloud security) are listed as preferred, not hard gates.
'Network security engineering' and 'identity management' from the Desired section are captured as preferred; the required section's firewalls/IDS/IPS/encryption/access management cover the hard-gate network security requirements.
The role title says 'Security Engineer' but the day-to-day work spans both engineering (design/implement) and analyst functions (incident response, forensics, vulnerability assessment); 15-1212 is the best fit given the breadth of security operations duties.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): access management, risk analysis, security automation.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
