Why we read it this way (5)
The role is on-site five days a week in Emeryville, CA; the Santa Clara office is mentioned as a company location but is not the work site for this position.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in CS, Engineering, or related field) is explicitly waivable via 'equivalent practical experience', so it is not treated as a hard gate.
Okta, Google Workspace, and MDM tools appear in the 'What You'll Need' (required) section. Slack, Atlassian, GitLab, and Airtable appear only in a narrative list of supported tools under 'IT Support and Administration', not in the requirements block.
CompTIA A+, Security+, and Network+ certifications are listed under 'Nice to Have' and are preferred, not required.
The posting mentions VPN solutions as a supported tool but names no specific product; it is omitted as too generic to be a named skill.
