Why we read it this way (6)

West Point, GA is a small city closest to the Auburn-Opelika, AL CBSA (12260); it does not fall within a major Georgia metro CBSA. The Columbus, GA CBSA (17980) is also nearby — hiring managers should verify which labor market is most relevant for sourcing.

The title 'System Administrator II' implies a mid-level band in a leveled ladder, but the requirements (5+ years primary admin experience, complex troubleshooting, project leadership, DR strategy) support a Senior classification.

A Bachelor's degree is listed as a Basic Qualification but is explicitly waivable by 'equivalent professional experience,' so no minimum degree is flagged as hard-required.

vSAN experience is called out as 'strongly preferred' within the Basic Qualifications section — it was treated as preferred rather than a hard gate given that qualifying language.

Certifications (Microsoft Windows Server, VMware vSphere/vSAN) appear under Preferred Qualifications.

The alt SOC (15-1252) was considered because the role includes automation scripting (PowerShell) and some project/solution design work, but the primary day-to-day focus is operating and maintaining existing infrastructure, making 15-1244 the better fit.
