Why we read it this way (7)
Role is MSP-based and requires travel within Northern Virginia and the DC Metro area — not remote.
No minimum years of experience are stated; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope (complex issue resolution, client-facing escalation point, documentation) without explicit Staff/Senior framing.
iPhone/Android troubleshooting is listed under Required Technical Experience but is a generic device support task with no specific named platform tool — omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Switching and firewalls are listed as required but name no specific product; the preferred section names Cisco/Meraki/Sophos/FortiGate as the concrete tools and they are captured there.
Azure and AWS appear together as a single preferred item; Azure is listed as primary with AWS as an alternative since they are interchangeable cloud platforms in this context.
Hyper-V and VMware appear together as a single preferred item; Hyper-V is listed as primary with VMware as an alternative.
The Cisco/Meraki/Sophos/FortiGate cluster is consolidated into one preferred skill (Cisco as primary) with the others as alternatives, as they represent interchangeable network/security vendor solutions in this context. Note that 'Sophos suite of solutions' is listed separately but refers to the same vendor already captured.
