Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is primarily about operating and administering Microsoft endpoint/identity infrastructure (15-1244), but the explicit requirement to build PowerShell and Graph API automation and develop provisioning workflows introduces meaningful software-development work (15-1252). 15-1244 was chosen because the dominant day-to-day activity is administering existing systems rather than shipping new software.
The advertised title is 'Sr. Infrastructure Engineer' (Senior), but the hard experience gate is only 4+ years, which aligns more closely with a Mid-level band. The seniority assessment reflects the actual requirements rather than the title.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but explicitly paired with 'or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is treated as a hard requirement.
Multi-site or manufacturing endpoint management experience is listed as 'preferred' in the qualifications section.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
