Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is a contract-to-hire engagement; classified as Contract per the engagement type stated.
The 'Top Skills Details' section explicitly calls out Patching, Active Directory, change management, ServiceNow, and SCCM as the primary required skills — these are marked as required. Ansible, Jenkins, and CMDB appear only in the narrative description of responsibilities and are marked as preferred.
The role is described as 'Expert Level' by the staffing firm (TEKsystems), supporting a Senior classification, though no formal seniority title is used in the job title itself.
The SOC classification is a judgement call: the role primarily involves operating and managing patching infrastructure (systems administration), but has a strong process/analyst dimension around ServiceNow CMDB, change models, and SOP development — 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts is a plausible alternative.
Hybrid position in Greensboro, NC; standard business hours Mon–Fri 8AM–5PM with flexibility noted.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Change Management.
