Why we read it this way (9)
The posting mentions 'multiple datacenters' and on-call rotation, suggesting an on-site or hybrid arrangement; remote=false is inferred but not explicitly stated.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications only, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Jira and Change Gear are listed together as project management tools under Required Qualifications; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for that requirement rather than two separate hard gates.
SAN and NAS are listed together as storage technologies under Required Qualifications; NAS is captured as an alternative to SAN.
VMware vCenter, ESXi, vSAN, and VxRail appear in the responsibilities section describing the VMware environment the candidate will administer; given the strong gating language on 5+ years of vSphere experience and the specificity of these components, they are treated as required.
NERC CIP is listed under Preferred Qualifications as a familiarity item only.
Agile and ITIL are listed under Required Qualifications but framed as 'preferred' within that section ('Agile, ITIL preferred'), so they are marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): backup and disaster recovery.
