Why we read it this way (7)

The JD states '4–7+ years of experience' — the overall years minimum is set to 4, the lower bound of the stated range.

A Bachelor's degree is listed under Required Qualifications but explicitly allows 'or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.

SolarWinds appears in the responsibilities section with 'or similar' phrasing, indicating the specific tool is not a hard gate; listed as preferred.

Cloud networking (AWS/Azure) appears in both responsibilities (narrative context) and Preferred Qualifications; treated as preferred. AWS VPC and Azure VNets are listed as distinct preferred sub-skills.

Certifications (CCNA, CCNP, Palo Alto PCNSE) are explicitly under Preferred Qualifications.

Capricor Therapeutics is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA; no explicit office location is stated in the posting, but the role's on-site nature (lab/office environments) implies the LA metro.

The alt SOC 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted because the role has a meaningful security component (firewalls, VPN, network security controls, cybersecurity collaboration), though the primary day-to-day work is network infrastructure operations.
