Why we read it this way (6)

Location is not explicitly stated in the posting. Hanger, Inc. is headquartered in Austin, TX; CBSA has been defaulted to Austin, TX accordingly.

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's degree is 'desired' and allows 2 years of experience to substitute for one year of education — this is a preference, not a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.

Scripting/programming is required ('Must have basic knowledge of programming or scripting skills in any language') but no specific language is named; captured as a generic 'scripting' skill.

'Cloud based solutions' appears in the required qualifications section without naming a specific platform; captured with common alternatives (AWS, Azure, GCP). Azure also appears separately under the 'Additional Success Factors' (nice-to-have) section as a certification.

The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) because the primary day-to-day work is operating, monitoring, and maintaining server/storage infrastructure rather than building new software. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the planning, design, and architecture language in the posting.

The 'II' in the title 'System Engineer II' maps to a Mid-level advertised seniority; the 2+ years experience requirement and scope of responsibilities also support a Mid classification.
