Why we read it this way (4)
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role combines deep network architecture and design work (closer to 15-1241 Computer Network Architects) with hands-on deployment and operational support (closer to 15-1244). The primary day-to-day emphasis on design, HLDs/LLDs, and leading transformation projects leans architectural, but the explicit requirement to support production environments and collaborate with Network Operations tips it toward 15-1244 as the primary code, with 15-1241 as a strong runner-up.
MPLS, DMVPN, multi-VRF, SASE, SSE, and NGFW appear only in the responsibilities section as context for migration targets and integration work, not as gated requirements — marked as preferred accordingly.
Juniper Session Smart Router is part of the Juniper Mist WAN Assurance platform and is captured under that skill rather than as a separate entry.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, Juniper Mist WAN Assurance, Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN.
