Why we read it this way (6)

The salary is stated as 'up to 140K / per year (DOE)', meaning $140,000 is the ceiling; the actual offer depends on experience. Both min and max are set to 140,000 to reflect the stated cap.

The role blends infrastructure engineering, IT consulting, and project management roughly equally. 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the best fit given the heavy hands-on infrastructure operations scope, but 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a reasonable alternative given the client-facing consulting and requirements-analysis duties.

Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred', not required, so degree requirement is set to None.

Japanese language skills are listed as a nice-to-have qualifier at the end of the required section; the posting frames it as a cultural/language asset rather than a hard gate, so it is not captured as a required skill.

SD-WAN and SASE appear together as a single project type in the responsibilities section (not in the required qualifications block), so they are captured as preferred with each as an alternative of the other.

Professional IT certifications are listed as preferred, not required — no specific certification is named, so no skill entry is created.
