Why we read it this way (9)
This role is based in Chennai, India — US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The posting requires 5–8 years of experience; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the stated minimum).
Splunk is listed as 'preferred' within the required qualifications block but is immediately followed by 'or at least one SIEM platform (Splunk, IBM QRadar)' — the requirement is clearly for SIEM proficiency (a hard gate), with Splunk as the preferred tool and QRadar as the named alternative.
AWS and Azure are both named in the required qualifications; the JD uses 'and/or', so they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the cloud security requirement.
Certifications (CEH, GCIH, ECIH, AWS Security Specialty) are explicitly marked 'Preferred but not mandatory' in the posting.
Threat hunting appears in the responsibilities section rather than a formal requirements block; treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
The role operates on a 24×7 shift-based schedule, which may be relevant for candidate fit.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): log analysis.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
