Why we read it this way (7)
The role is genuinely split between security engineering (CrowdStrike, Rapid7, vulnerability management, SOC 2, incident response) and cloud/systems engineering (Azure, M365, Entra ID, Exchange). 15-1212 Information Security Analysts is the primary code given the explicit security ownership and security-first framing, but 15-1244 is a credible runner-up given the breadth of infrastructure and systems administration duties.
CrowdStrike is listed as the first-named example of enterprise security platforms under a required qualifications heading; Rapid7, Cisco Umbrella, and Cisco Duo are listed alongside it as interchangeable alternatives ('such as … or equivalent technologies').
Certifications (AZ-104, AZ-500, MS-102, SC-300, CompTIA Security+, CISSP) are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
AWS and Cisco Meraki appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the qualifications block and are treated as preferred context.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Compensation includes a 10% annual bonus potential on top of the stated base salary range.
