Why we read it this way (8)
The role sits between Network Architect (15-1241) and Network/Systems Administrator (15-1244). The JD emphasizes design, architecture, and deployment of network solutions — language that leans toward 15-1241 — but also includes hands-on configuration, troubleshooting, monitoring, and on-call operations, which are characteristic of 15-1244. 15-1244 was chosen as primary because the day-to-day duties are predominantly operational and hands-on; 15-1241 is the close runner-up.
Cisco CCNP is listed in the Requirements section as 'Cisco CCNP or equivalent experience' — treated as a hard gate on the certification/competency level, with equivalent experience accepted in lieu of the specific cert.
Python is listed in Requirements as 'scripting using Python or Ansible for automation'; Ansible is captured as an alternative since either satisfies the requirement.
AWS exposure is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Requirements section and is therefore preferred, not required.
Cisco CCNA, CompTIA Network+, and AWS certifications are listed under 'Certifications are a huge plus!' — clearly optional and preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a relevant field; no equivalent-experience substitution is offered, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
