Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'IT Systems Administrator II' implies a mid-level designation, but the stated experience requirement of only 1–3 years and the scope (single-office IT support, helpdesk, hardware/software administration) align more closely with a junior-level role.
Degree requirement is listed as 'Associate degree or formal occupational training or certification required.' Since the JD explicitly accepts occupational training or certification as an equivalent, this does not constitute a hard bachelor's degree gate.
The Colorado office location is not explicitly named as Colorado Springs or Denver; CesiumAstro's Colorado office is in Austin, TX (HQ) and Round Rock, TX — however, the company's known Colorado presence is in Colorado Springs. CBSA set to Colorado Springs, CO (17820) as best available inference; verify the exact office location.
ITAR/EAR compliance experience is listed under Preferred alongside NIST 800-171; both are preferred, not required.
No US security clearance is explicitly required, though the posting notes ITAR/export-control citizenship requirements for the role.
