Why we read it this way (11)
This is explicitly a temporary/agency position, not a direct hire.
The posted salary range has a likely typo: '$150,00.00' — interpreted as $150,000.
The role is located at Greenpoint Technologies in the greater Seattle/Redmond, WA area (Kirkland, WA is their known location); CBSA assigned accordingly.
Degree requirement is None: the JD accepts 'equivalent combination of education and experience' in lieu of the stated Associate degree.
NIST 800-171 / CMMC Level 2 compliance and CMDB are listed under the Required Knowledge section and treated as hard gates, though they read more like compliance familiarity than deep certification requirements.
Cybersecurity / major incident response is explicitly flagged 'strongly preferred' in the JD, placing it in the preferred category.
Certifications (MCITP, CompTIA A+, Network+) are explicitly listed as 'preferred' in the JD.
The ITAR/US Person note is a legal compliance requirement, not a security clearance gate — the clearance requirement is set to None.
An alt SOC of 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted given the NIST/CMMC compliance emphasis, though the primary day-to-day work is clearly infrastructure administration.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): backup and disaster recovery.
Posting is for a temporary engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
