Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the role appears to support a government contract but no city, state, or remote designation is given.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD states a Bachelor's is required but immediately offers '5 years of additional SA experience' as a full substitute, making it not a hard gate.
DoD 8570 IAT Level I appears in both the Required and Desired sections; it is treated as required based on its placement and firm language in the Required Qualifications block.
PowerShell, AWS (EC2, Lambda, CloudFormation), Ansible, and Terraform appear in the primary responsibilities narrative and in the 'Technology stack' section under Desired Qualifications — not in the Required Qualifications block — so they are marked preferred.
PHP, .NET, C#, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle appear only in the 'Technology stack' list under Desired Qualifications and are marked preferred accordingly.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role includes infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), scripting, and automation work that edges toward software development, though the primary framing is systems administration and operations.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level I.
