Why we read it this way (8)
The job title says 'Systems Administrator III' but the role is clearly a systems analyst/application analyst function (Epic configuration, workflow design, requirements gathering, optimization) — not infrastructure administration. SOC 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts is the best fit; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized Epic application analyst nature of the work.
The minimum experience gate is stated as an OR: '2+ years working with Epic or comparable health system software' OR '2+ years scripting/programming experience', combined with '3+ years working in IT or operations' (with the bachelor's degree, or equivalent work experience substituted). The role-level minimum is treated as 3 years (IT/operations), making this a Mid-level role despite the 'III' title framing.
The advertised title ('Systems Administrator III') implies a Senior-level framing, but the actual minimum requirements (2–3 years experience, with degree substitution allowed) support a Mid-level classification.
Epic Prelude is the primary required application per the job summary and minimum qualifications ('2+ years experience working with Epic or comparable health system software'). Epic Grand Central and Epic Benefits Engine certifications/proficiency are listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
Microsoft Excel appears explicitly under the Functional KSAs section, which reads as a required competency list rather than a preferred/nice-to-have section.
ServiceNow and change management experience are listed under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation range was provided in the posting.
The bachelor's degree requirement is waived by 'additional equivalent work experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
