Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Intermediate Systems Engineer' is treated as a Mid-level designation, consistent with the 5+ years experience requirement.
SOC classification is a judgment call: the role blends systems administration (15-1244) with systems analysis and configuration management (15-1211). The primary day-to-day work — operating and maintaining a production mainframe environment — leans toward 15-1244.
The posting mentions 'Remote or Hybrid work model' but also references potential deployment to field locations and core office hours; remote=false is set because fully remote work is not clearly guaranteed.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Configuration Management appears in the required skills list as a practice/methodology rather than a named tool (e.g., Broadcom Endevor is the named tool); it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Enterprise financial systems, ERP, and payroll applications appear under Preferred as domain context rather than named technologies and are omitted from the skills list.
