Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Lead Infrastructure Services Engineer' with no explicit seniority level word; the title states no level. However, the 6+ year overall requirement, third-level/tier-3 support ownership, and SME framing support a Senior classification.
DTCC's primary offices are in New York/Jersey City; no specific city is stated in the posting, but DTCC's known headquarters (55 Water St, New York) anchors the CBSA to New York-Newark-Jersey City.
The role is a hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 days remote) — not fully remote.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree requirement is set.
SysTrack, SQL Server, and IIS appear under 'Talents Needed for Success' but are framed as 'knowledge of' rather than firm gates, and are grouped with clearly secondary items; treated as preferred.
ITIL is listed as 'working knowledge' — a softer framing than the primary Citrix/Azure requirements; treated as preferred.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) was considered because the role includes scripting/automation and platform implementation, but the dominant day-to-day work is operating, maintaining, and supporting existing EUC/VDI infrastructure rather than building software, making 15-1244 the better fit.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Citrix Machine Creation Services.
