Why we read it this way (6)
The posting does not specify a work location city beyond the company name (Centre Technologies, headquartered in Houston, TX); the CBSA has been inferred from the company's known headquarters. Confirm actual work location before publishing.
The role title is 'Technical Lead' with no seniority modifier; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 6+ years requirement and scope of responsibilities (highest-level escalation, customer strategy, mentoring) support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role primarily operates and troubleshoots multi-customer infrastructure environments (supporting 15-1244), but the strategic advisory, roadmap, and escalation-leadership duties push toward a broader technical leadership occupation (15-1299). 15-1244 was selected as the primary because hands-on infrastructure operation and troubleshooting dominate the described day-to-day work.
All technical skills are drawn from the 'Technical Expertise' section, which is presented as a required competency block within the job description. The breadth of the list reflects the managed-services nature of the role, where coverage across all these platforms is genuinely expected.
No compensation, employment type, or degree requirement is stated in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firewall administration, backup administration.
