Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Network Engineer II' implies a mid-level band, but the actual scope — senior technical lead, mentoring/supervising Network Engineer I staff, regulatory compliance ownership, vendor management, and disaster recovery — clearly supports a Senior-level role. Advertised seniority is Mid (the 'II' numeric level); required seniority is Senior.
The 5–8+ years of experience and the Bachelor's degree both appear under 'Preferred Qualifications', not under 'Minimum Requirements', so neither is treated as a hard gate. The 5-year floor is used as the overall years minimum as the lower bound of the stated range.
Azure and AWS are listed together as a single cloud networking requirement; Azure is named first with AWS as an acceptable alternative.
This role sits at the boundary between network/systems administration (15-1244) and information security (15-1212) given the heavy emphasis on firewall policy, segmentation, regulatory compliance, and risk assessments. 15-1244 is chosen as primary because the day-to-day work centers on designing and operating network infrastructure; 15-1212 is the runner-up.
