Why we read it this way (5)
The role is classified as Systems Administration but has a meaningful software development component (C#/.NET, MySQL, REST API integrations, dashboard/workflow tooling). C# and MySQL appear only under 'Preferred Qualifications', so they are marked preferred despite being described in the responsibilities section — the qualifications block is the authoritative gate signal.
DNS, DHCP, and VPN are listed in the responsibilities under 'Networking & Security' without an explicit 'required' qualifier, but the overall 'What you will bring' section calls for 'strong troubleshooting skills across Windows, cloud, and networking environments', supporting treating core networking skills as required.
The posting is a contract-to-hire engagement with a stated term of 3–6 months; the contract-to-hire nature is reflected in the employment type.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
