Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Systems Engineer III' maps to a Senior-level individual contributor; the Roman numeral III is treated as an explicit Senior-level claim.
The role sits at the intersection of physical/cyber security system integration and network configuration — it primarily operates and configures existing platforms (access control, video surveillance, network switches, firewalls) rather than building software, making 15-1244 the best fit, though 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the specialized physical-security focus.
One or more of Genetec, Software House, Lenel, Gallagher, or Milestone is explicitly required; the posting names all five as interchangeable options for that single gate. Avigilon, Commend, and AMAG appear in a broader 'including but not limited to' list of supported systems and are listed as preferred.
Cisco CLI experience is required; HP CLI is listed as 'preferred' in the experience section. For firewall configuration, Cisco and Juniper are both named under required experience — emitted as a single skill with the other as an alternative since the posting treats them as options for the same firewall requirement.
A bachelor's degree is listed but explicitly accepts equivalent work experience (5+ years), so the degree requirement is set to None.
The role requires on-site travel to NYC-area client sites; some high-security customers prohibit remote access, so this is not a remote role.
