Why we read it this way (7)
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree with no 'or equivalent experience' language, so it is treated as a hard degree requirement.
The experience range is stated as '3-5 years'; the overall years minimum is set to 3 (the minimum).
Azure networking appears in both the responsibilities section (as a task) and the preferred qualifications section (as a certification); it is captured as preferred since it is only explicitly listed under Preferred qualifications.
Firewall administration is listed as a required skill but no specific vendor is named in the required section — Palo Alto Networks is called out only under Preferred.
CCNA/CCNP and PCNSA/PCNSE are listed as preferred certifications, not hard gates; they are grouped as preferred with alternatives reflecting the or-choice the JD presents.
The role is hybrid (New York office), not fully remote.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firewall administration, certificate management.
