Why we read it this way (7)
This is a pre-sales Systems Engineer / technical account management role focused on MSP/SP partners — it sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts); neither is a perfect fit for a customer-facing SE role, but 15-1299 is used here as the closer catch-all.
The JD lists 'Knowledge of Linux, hypervisors, cloud computing, and operational tools for logs, metrics, events, and alerting' under the main qualifications block; Linux is marked required accordingly. Hypervisors and cloud computing are mentioned without naming specific products, so no named-technology skill is emitted for those.
REST APIs, Python, and Ansible appear under 'is a plus' language and are marked preferred.
MPLS VPN and Segment Routing appear under a separate 'Understanding of Service Provider routing environments' sentence framed as context/background rather than a hard gate, and are marked preferred.
MSP/SP experience and co-developing managed service offerings are explicitly called 'a plus' or 'strong plus' in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided; the posting references location-based pay ranges but gives no numbers.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
