Why we read it this way (9)
The posting is primarily an infrastructure/operations role (designing, configuring, and troubleshooting enterprise network infrastructure) rather than a software-development role, supporting 15-1244; however, the emphasis on architecture, automation, and modernization initiatives introduces some ambiguity with 15-1252.
Compensation is stated as an hourly range ($37.50–$62.00/hr) with pay increasing by years of applicable experience; no annual equivalent is given in the posting.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is explicit and hard-gated ('Bachelor's Degree required').
The 5-year experience gate is stated as '5 years experience or advanced certifications in networking' — the 'or advanced certifications' clause means certifications can substitute for years, but the underlying experience/expertise level is still a hard gate.
Network certifications are listed as 'a plus' in the Job Summary narrative, so they are marked preferred despite also appearing as a possible substitute for the 5-year experience requirement.
Skills such as routing, switching, network security, network monitoring, and network architecture are drawn from the explicit Qualifications section and are treated as hard gates. Network automation appears only in the narrative/context sections and is marked preferred.
The caller has confirmed this is a fully-remote role; no metro or state has been inferred.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network architecture, change management, network automation.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
