Why we read it this way (7)
The role is a pre-sales/partner solutions architect — primarily a technical field/partner-enablement function rather than a pure software development or systems administration role. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit; 15-1252 is noted as an alternative given the hands-on architecture and automation elements.
The 12+ years requirement is stated at the overall networking experience level; the 3+ years in pre-sales/solutions architecture is a sub-requirement within that.
A BS or MS is listed as a qualification but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Automation/NetDevOps tooling (Ansible, Python, APIs, CI pipelines, infrastructure-as-code) is explicitly flagged as 'strongly preferred' in the qualifications, not a hard gate.
Networking certifications (CCIE, JNCIE, or equivalent) are listed as preferred, not required.
L2/L3 VPNs are mentioned alongside the other routing/switching protocols in the required qualifications but are a broad category rather than a specific named tool; the specific named protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, VXLAN, EVPN) are captured individually.
Traffic generators, terminal servers, DHCP/ZTP workflows are mentioned as lab/troubleshooting tools in the required qualifications but are generic categories rather than specific named products; tcpdump and Wireshark are the only specifically named tools in that list and are captured.
