Why we read it this way (7)

No work location or metro area is specified; the role is fully remote but requires availability during Eastern time zone business hours (8:00am–4:00pm EST).

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in a related field but explicitly allows 'equivalent combination of education and directly related experience' — treated as no hard degree gate.

The posting does not require a formal US security clearance, but candidates must satisfy VA onboarding requirements including fingerprinting and obtaining a PIV badge.

Dynatrace and Splunk are listed together as examples of required monitoring platforms ('such as Dynatrace, Splunk, or similar'); both are captured as required with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that either satisfies the requirement.

Jira appears in both the Minimum Requirements section and the Desired Qualifications section; it is captured as required based on its placement in the hard requirements block.

Experience working as a federal contractor/employee and as a consultant are stated requirements but name no specific technology — omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

The alt SOC (15-1252) is noted because the role includes some design, architecture guidance, and security testing duties, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly infrastructure administration and operations.
