Why we read it this way (5)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the role references onsite or virtual workshops and clients 'throughout North America', so geography is genuinely unclear. The Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative is cited, suggesting a possible CA nexus, but this is not confirmed.
CCNP and CCIE are listed together in the Benefits/closing section under a heading that reads more like a credential callout than a formal requirements block. They are treated as the primary certification gate (CCNP as the baseline, CCIE as the higher-level alternative), but their placement outside the explicit 'Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities' section introduces some ambiguity.
The role is pre-sales / solution architecture — primarily consultative and design-focused rather than hands-on software development or pure systems administration. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest fit; 15-1299 is noted as an alternative given the pre-sales architect framing.
No specific technologies beyond Cisco certifications (CCNP/CCIE) are named anywhere in the posting. The skills list is therefore minimal by necessity, not by omission.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
