Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role almost certainly supports a US government/defense contract given the Active Secret clearance requirement.
The degree requirement is stated as 'BA/BS+ 7 years of experience', meaning a Bachelor's degree plus 7 years is the combined gate; the overall years minimum is set to 7 accordingly.
Network design is listed as a required responsibility/skill but names no specific technology or tool, so it is not emitted as a discrete skill.
Network automation experience (Python/Ansible/Nornir) is listed under a 'Desired' qualifier and is treated as preferred. Python is the primary name with Ansible and Nornir as interchangeable alternatives since the posting presents them as a group.
CCIE, CISSP, and Palo Alto certifications are explicitly marked 'Desired' and are treated as preferred.
IAT II is a DoD 8570 certification category (e.g., Security+, CCNA Security) rather than a single product certification; it is retained as a named hard gate because the posting explicitly requires it.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
