Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits at the boundary between network engineering (15-1244) and software/automation development (15-1252). The JD gives roughly equal weight to traditional network design/operations and to building automation pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and AI-driven tooling. 15-1244 was chosen because the primary deliverable is the network infrastructure itself; the automation and coding work serves that infrastructure rather than shipping a standalone software product.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Network/Electrical Engineering, or a related field' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
The 'Security' bullet under Basic Qualifications lists hands-on experience with named network platforms (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Palo Alto, Fortinet). Despite the heading label 'Security', the content clearly describes network platform familiarity and is treated as a required skill.
Monitoring and observability tooling (Grafana, ELK, NetFlow, streaming telemetry) appears in both the required responsibilities and the preferred qualifications. Grafana/ELK are listed as preferred since they appear explicitly under Preferred Qualifications; the general monitoring/observability capability is captured as a required skill via the required section.
CCNP/CCIE and AWS/Azure networking certifications are listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
SD-WAN/SASE platforms (VeloCloud, Prisma, Zscaler) and OT/manufacturing networking experience are listed under Preferred Qualifications.
HPC/GPU cluster networking specifics (GPUDirect, parallel file systems) appear only under Preferred Qualifications, though general cluster/storage networking is required.
