Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is primarily hands-on systems administration (15-1244) but carries substantial team-lead and quasi-management duties — including acting as IT Director during absences, mentoring staff, and coordinating resource planning — which could support 11-3021. The primary day-to-day work described is still technical operations, so 15-1244 was chosen with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
Location is inferred from Les Olson IT's known headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT; the posting names nine locations across two states (UT and NV) but does not specify which site this role is based at.
Certifications (CompTIA Security+, VMware VCXD, MS-102, cloud architect) are listed under 'What You Bring' but framed as 'or willingness to obtain within 1 year,' making them aspirational rather than hard gates at hire.
Backup platforms (Datto, Veeam, StorageCraft) are listed together as a single requirement; Datto is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Linux and Apple iOS appear together under 'Advanced knowledge of' in the Technical Expertise section; Apple iOS is marked preferred as endpoint/mobile knowledge is a secondary concern relative to the core server/infrastructure focus, while Linux is marked required given the 'advanced knowledge' framing in the requirements block.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
