Why we read it this way (5)
The posting explicitly titles this role 'Systems Engineer II', which maps to a mid-level band — consistent with the 3+ years experience requirement and the scope of the responsibilities described.
The JD requires hands-on experience with 'at least two' of the four named platforms (Splunk, Cribl, Datadog, Grafana). Splunk is listed first and most prominently, but no single platform is individually gated — the requirement is proficiency in at least two. All four are captured; Splunk is marked required (as the representative of the 'at least two' gate) with the others listed as its alternatives to reflect the interchangeable nature of the requirement, and each is also listed individually as preferred to surface them for matching.
JavaScript is mentioned only in the responsibilities narrative ('when necessary, apply JavaScript') rather than in the requirements section, so it is marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily platform administration and monitoring operations (15-1244), but the data pipeline configuration and scripting elements introduce some overlap with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other).
