Why we read it this way (7)

The posting lists three engagement types simultaneously — Full-time, Contract, and Contract-to-Hire — suggesting a staffing/recruiting firm filling multiple openings or flexible arrangements; the employment type is set to Contract as the broadest common denominator, but FullTime is equally plausible.

Location is described as 'Open to Relocation – Anywhere in the United States' with no specific metro; no CBSA could be assigned.

Experience range is stated as '6 months – 2/3/4 years', firmly placing this in the Junior band despite the dual 'Analyst / Engineer' title.

No specific SIEM product (e.g. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar) is named; SIEM is captured generically as stated in the posting.

Work authorization is restricted to US Citizens and Green Card Holders only.

No compensation figures were provided.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
