Why we read it this way (7)
The job title is 'Cybersecurity Operations Center Analyst II', where 'II' maps to a Mid-level band; the experience requirement of 0–3 years also aligns with Mid (entry-to-mid), so both advertised and assessed seniority agree at Mid.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree … or equivalent practical experience', so no hard degree gate is set.
The experience minimum is stated as '0–3 years', so the overall years minimum is set to 0 — this role is open to candidates with no prior SOC experience.
SOAR and UEBA appear in the 'Core Skills and Competencies' narrative section framed as general proficiency context rather than in the hard-gated 'Required Technical Skills' block, so they are marked preferred. SIEM, EDR, and IDS/IPS are explicitly listed under 'Required Technical Skills' and are hard gates.
Certifications (CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+, AWS Certified Security - Specialty) appear under 'Additional Qualifications' as things successful candidates 'typically have' — clearly preferred, not required.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting; EchoStar/DISH is headquartered in Englewood, CO (Denver metro). The CBSA is inferred from the company's known primary location. Candidates should verify the actual work location.
The posting notes visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
