Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Cybersecurity Ops Technologist I', which carries no standard seniority label; the hard minimum is 2 years in a technology role, but the ideal candidate profile describes 3+ years of dedicated email security engineering — the requirements support a Mid-level band.
The SOC classification is a close call: the role is primarily hands-on administration and configuration of an email security platform (closer to 15-1244 systems administration), but the threat analysis, detection tuning, and SOC partnership work push it toward 15-1212 Information Security Analysts. 15-1212 was chosen as the primary given the security-analysis and incident-response emphasis.
Proofpoint is listed as strongly preferred (ideal candidate section) with named alternatives accepted (Mimecast, Cisco Secure Email, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Abnormal Security, Barracuda); however, the day-to-day job description treats Proofpoint as the platform being administered, so it is marked required with those alternatives captured.
The specific Proofpoint modules (TAP, TRAP, Email Fraud Defense, Email Isolation, Adaptive Email Security) appear in the ideal candidate section as preferred depth rather than hard gates, so they are marked preferred.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is explicitly called 'a plus' in the ideal candidate section and is marked preferred.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or its equivalent in work experience' as a must-have; because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None per extraction rules — however, the posting does frame a degree as the stated gate, so this is noted for awareness.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Proofpoint Email Fraud Defense, Proofpoint Adaptive Email Security, Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
