Why we read it this way (8)
The job title carries no seniority level and the posting makes no explicit level claim, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 4+ years requirement and scope (SOC analyst contributing to an existing team) support a Mid-level classification.
A BS/BA in Computer Science or Engineering is listed under the 'Ideal Experience' heading alongside 'or equivalent work experience', making it a preference rather than a hard degree gate.
Scripting/programming skills (Python, PowerShell, Go) are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting, so they are captured as a preferred skill.
SIEM query languages (Yara-L, CQL, SPL) are listed as a single interchangeable requirement; Yara-L is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Cyber forensics and eDiscovery/insider threat investigation are mentioned as responsibilities rather than named tools or technologies, so they are not emitted as discrete skills.
'Direct Hire' in the posting context indicates a full-time permanent placement, not a contract engagement.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): malware analysis.
