Why we read it this way (6)
No compensation figures are provided.
SOC classification is a judgment call: the role primarily designs and operates network/compute/storage infrastructure (pointing to 15-1244), but the heavy emphasis on security controls, NIST SP 800-171, ITAR/EAR compliance, and Zero Trust patterns gives 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) a credible claim as a runner-up.
Infrastructure automation (IaC, configuration management) appears only under 'Bonus Points For' with no specific tool named; Terraform/Ansible/Pulumi are listed as representative substitutes for the generic 'IaC' reference.
Security+ and CCNP are listed together as examples of 'professional-level certifications' under Bonus Points — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
ITAR/EAR compliance is listed as a hard requirement ('implement infrastructure controls consistent with … applicable export control regulations (ITAR/EAR)'), not merely a nice-to-have.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network architecture, NIST SP 800-171.
