We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists two tiers of requirements: a baseline (Bachelor's + 6 years) and a more demanding set labeled as specialized security screening requirements (Bachelor's + 10 years, 8 years cross-functional, 4 years infrastructure deployment, 1 year agentic AI, 2 years SDN). The higher-bar set appears to be the operative gate for this Director-level role and is reflected in the overall years minimum and skill years.
The phrase 'specialized security screenings' appears in the posting but is used as a label for the enhanced requirements block, not as a reference to a US government security clearance — no clearance is gated.
Several skills (e.g., 'large-scale infrastructure deployment', 'capacity planning', 'technical program management') describe experience domains rather than named tools; they are included because the posting explicitly quantifies years against them as hard gates.
No compensation is mentioned in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): large-scale infrastructure deployment, capacity planning, technical program management.
