Why we read it this way (5)
The title is 'Systems Engineer' but the posting describes a broad mix of infrastructure operations, SaaS platform support, and light software development — it sits ambiguously between Network/Systems Administration (15-1244) and Computer Systems Analysis (15-1211). 15-1244 was chosen as the primary code given the emphasis on managing, monitoring, installing, and configuring systems and infrastructure.
The qualifications section lists almost entirely soft skills and generic concepts (communication, decision-making, analytical skills, leadership, etc.) with no named technologies required — no hard technology gates could be extracted.
All four named technologies (AWS, Microsoft certifications implying Azure, cloud computing, cybersecurity) appear only under the 'Preference(s)' section and are explicitly framed as a plus or preferred, so all are marked preferred.
Experience is stated as '3-5 years' but sits under 'Preference(s)', not a hard requirements section, so it was not set as a firm the overall years minimum gate.
No compensation, employment type, or degree requirement is stated in the posting.
