Why we read it this way (6)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; Meta's ENS team is global and the role involves up to 30% travel for datacenter/field work, so no CBSA could be determined.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary day-to-day work is deploying, configuring, and operating large-scale network infrastructure (15-1244), but the responsibilities also include contributing to network design and scalable solutions, which edges toward Network Architects (15-1241). 15-1244 was chosen because the execution/operations framing dominates.
The degree requirement states the candidate must have or be in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree, completed prior to joining — treated as a hard degree gate.
AI-related items (integrating AI tools into workflows, ethical AI practices, prompt engineering, agent orchestration) appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are not captured as named technology skills, as they describe general practices rather than specific tools.
Scripting languages Bash, Python, and Perl are listed together as interchangeable examples under Preferred Qualifications; Bash is used as the primary with Python and Perl as alternatives.
CWDM and DWDM are listed together as optical transport technologies under Preferred Qualifications; emitted as one skill with the other as an alternative.
