Why we read it this way (4)

The CBSA assigned is Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY (15380), which is the primary metro for Western New York. Rochester (40380) is a neighboring metro — Buffalo is the stronger match for 'Western New York' and should be verified against the actual office location.

The posting names no specific firewall, endpoint protection, or email security products beyond the Microsoft stack; those cybersecurity tool categories are required by scope but no vendor is named, so no additional skill entries were created.

No minimum years of experience are stated explicitly; seniority is inferred from the role's positioning as the highest technical escalation point within the MSP's Managed Services team.

The title carries no seniority modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified, though the actual scope and responsibilities clearly support a Senior-level classification.
