Why we read it this way (8)
The certification requirement is a hard gate: candidates must hold at least two relevant InfoSec certifications (from a named list including CompTIA Network+/Security+/CySA+, CEH, Cisco CCNA/CCNA-Security, GIAC GSEC, CDSA, etc.) or be able to obtain them within 12 months of start. This is captured as a single required skill with the named alternatives; the 'or obtain within 12 months' clause softens the gate slightly but the posting places it firmly under Requirements.
The AWS/Azure architect or security specialty certification is listed under Preferences, not Requirements.
SOC environment experience and SIEM experience are listed under Preferences — not hard gates.
MITRE ATT&CK Framework knowledge is listed under Preferences.
Jira is listed under Preferred Skills.
