Why we read it this way (7)
This is a presales/solutions architect role at a VAR (value-added reseller), sitting at the intersection of systems analysis, solution design, and sales engineering — no single SOC code fits cleanly. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) was chosen as the closest match given the requirements-gathering, solution design, and proposal-authoring focus; 15-1299 is a reasonable runner-up.
The JD requires 5+ years in pre-sales engineering AND 5+ years designing/implementing networking, security, and/or systems/storage solutions — these are parallel requirements, not additive; the overall years minimum is set to 5.
The technology domain requirement ('Networking, Security, Data Center, and/or AI') is framed as 'one or more of the following areas' — networking and security are listed first and most prominently, but the role accepts candidates strong in any of these domains.
OEM certifications (Cisco, HPE, Juniper, Dell, VMware, Palo Alto Alto) are listed as 'current certifications from leading OEMs' under Qualifications but framed as examples of acceptable vendors rather than a hard gate on any specific one — marked as preferred with the named vendors captured as alternatives.
The role is hybrid (on-site two days per week at 1 Penn Plaza, New York); remote is set to false.
Bachelor's degree is listed as 'or equivalent relevant work experience,' so no hard degree requirement applies.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): pre-sales engineering.
