Why we read it this way (5)

This is a pre-sales / solution architect role — the primary day-to-day work is client-facing technical advisory and network solution design, not pure network operations or software development. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit; 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is a strong runner-up and arguably equally valid, but the heavy pre-sales and consultative framing tips slightly away from a pure architecture role.

The compensation figure ($200,000–$250,000 OTE) is cited under the NYC Pay Transparency Law and represents total on-target earnings (base + bonus/commission) for New York City specifically; the posting notes compensation may vary in other geographies. The role requires US-based presence but is not restricted to NYC.

The 7+ years overall experience requirement includes at least 2 years in a customer-facing pre-sales or solution architect capacity — both are stated in the 'Desired Skills and Experience' section, which functions as the requirements block.

Certifications (CCNP/CCIE, JNCIP/JNCIE) are listed under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly. Ansible and Python appear together as examples of network automation tools under a 'plus' qualifier, so they are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.

AWS and Azure appear together as cloud networking examples under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are captured as a single preferred skill with the other as an alternative.
