Two work locations are offered: Reston, VA and Atlanta, GA. The primary CBSA used here is Washington-Arlington-Alexandria (Reston, VA); Atlanta, GA (CBSA 12060) is an equally valid location for this posting.
The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience' — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The 7-year large-scale infrastructure/distributed systems/networks requirement is stated broadly; 'distributed systems' is used as the representative skill name to capture this gate.
5 years of technical leadership and 5 years of people management are both hard-gated in the minimum qualifications but name no specific technology, so they are captured in the overall years minimum context rather than as named skills.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and networking domain experience appear under Preferred qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Compensation is stated as $262,000–$365,000/year plus a 25% bonus target and equity; the bonus and equity are not reflected in the min/max figures.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role retains significant hands-on technical direction-setting responsibilities, but the explicit people-management gate (5 years managing a team) makes 11-3021 the clear primary classification.
