Why we read it this way (4)
The role spans network engineering, network administration, and security — a genuine hybrid. 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the primary classification given the breadth of operational duties (design, deploy, configure, monitor, troubleshoot, asset management, backups), but the heavy Palo Alto/security content makes 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) a credible runner-up.
Experience requirement is tiered: 3 years post-Master's or 5 years post-Bachelor's. overall years minimum is set to 5 (the Bachelor's path, which is the more common credential), but candidates with a Master's and 3 years also qualify.
The posting does not state a work location explicitly, but Papa John's is headquartered in Louisville, KY; the role is inferred to be on-site there. No compensation is advertised.
The hashtags (#LI-DNI, #FB-DNI, etc.) are recruiter sourcing suppression tags and carry no substantive meaning for the role.
