Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists no overall years-of-experience requirement, but the breadth and depth of skills demanded (enterprise data centers, virtualization, cloud, security, scripting, CI/CD, database tuning) clearly support a Senior-level classification despite the unmodified 'Systems Administrator' title.
SOC classification is a close call: the role is framed as systems administration (15-1244) but also calls for microservices architecture design, CI/CD pipeline work, and scripting automation, which lean toward Software Developers (15-1252). The primary day-to-day framing — data center ops, OS administration, network management, server builds — tips it to 15-1244.
Bash is listed as the primary scripting language with Python and PowerShell as named alternatives in the same requirement; all three are captured under one skill entry.
AWS and Azure are presented as a pair for hybrid cloud; AWS is listed first and Azure is captured as an alternative.
Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle PL/SQL are presented as interchangeable database options; SQL Server is listed first with the others as alternatives.
Jenkins is named with 'or similar tools'; common CI/CD substitutes are populated in alternatives.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
The role is explicitly in-person at Buffalo, NY 14203; remote work is not offered.
