Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is physically located in Sioux Falls, SD, but the caller has declared this a fully-remote, national-pool role; metro has been left blank accordingly.
The job title carries no seniority level word; 'Unspecified' is used for advertised seniority. The 2-year minimum and scope of responsibilities support a Mid-level classification.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in cybersecurity or an IT-related field with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard gate.
Security certifications (CISSP, CISA, CISM, Security+, CEH) are explicitly described as 'highly desired' — listed as preferred with common alternatives captured.
The role blends network security engineering (firewall, segmentation, IPS/IDS) with broader security operations (SIEM, IAM, vulnerability management), making 15-1212 the best fit, though 15-1244 is a plausible runner-up given the infrastructure-heavy configuration and maintenance duties.
The technologies listed in the job summary (firewall, SIEM, email filtering, etc.) appear under the role's core responsibilities section and are treated as hard gates on capability, even though no single vendor product is named.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
