Why we read it this way (5)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the role appears to be remote-first given the distributed team description and lack of any office address, but this is not explicitly confirmed.
SOC classification required judgment: the role primarily operates and administers existing Microsoft infrastructure (Windows Server, M365, identity, backup) for MSP clients rather than building software or automation tooling, pointing to 15-1244. However, the design/architecture and standards-setting responsibilities add some ambiguity; 15-1252 is noted as a runner-up.
Datto and Axcient are listed together in the qualifications section as a paired backup platform requirement; they are treated as alternatives to each other for that single requirement rather than two separate hard gates.
Huntress and SentinelOne appear in both the responsibilities narrative and the Preferred Experience section; they are marked preferred based on their explicit placement under 'Preferred Experience'.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
