Why we read it this way (6)
The role is hybrid (3 days/week on campus at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO) — not fully remote.
The bachelor's degree requirement has an explicit year-for-year substitution clause (education OR equivalent experience), so the degree requirement is set to None.
Intune, SCCM, JAMF, and Active Directory appear in the job summary/responsibilities section as core configuration duties rather than under a formal 'Required Qualifications' heading; however, they are described as primary job functions the role is hired to perform, making them effective hard gates. Active Directory and Office 365 are also referenced in the responsibilities block.
The only hard-stated experience gate is 1 year of hands-on Windows and macOS support, which anchors this as a Junior-level role despite the broad scope of duties.
Zendesk and AssetPanda are listed together as examples of IT ticketing/asset tracking systems under Preferred Qualifications — emitted as a single skill with AssetPanda as an alternative.
Epic, MiPACs, and Citrix appear under 'Basic experience in IT Healthcare systems' in Preferred Qualifications; MiPACs is a niche medical imaging system with no common substitute and is omitted as it is not a broadly canonical technology name; Epic and Citrix are captured separately as preferred.
