Why we read it this way (8)
The role sits at the intersection of cloud security engineering and cloud networking/infrastructure — a genuine hybrid. 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is chosen as primary because the JD explicitly frames the position around protecting cloud systems, conducting security assessments, managing incident response, and enforcing security policies. 15-1244 is a credible runner-up given the heavy Azure networking and Palo Alto NGFW emphasis.
The minimum qualifications state 'combined minimum of 5 years' higher education and/or work experience,' which is a blended gate rather than a pure experience floor. The desired qualifications separately call for 'minimum 5 years' professional experience in a technical engineering position' — the overall years minimum is set to 5 accordingly.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under Desired Qualifications as 'preferred,' not as a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, and Azure Key Vault appear in both the responsibilities narrative and the Desired Qualifications section; they are treated as preferred rather than required since the Minimum Qualifications section does not list them.
Compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001) appear only in the responsibilities narrative, not as a stated candidate requirement, so they are marked preferred.
Scripting (PowerShell, Azure CLI, Bash) is listed under Desired Qualifications as 'proficiency … such as,' making it preferred. The three options are interchangeable alternatives for the same scripting requirement.
Certifications (Azure Security Engineer Associate, CISSP, CISM) are explicitly described as 'highly desirable,' so they are marked preferred.
The role is on-site only; candidates must be local to the Seattle metro area or willing to relocate at their own expense.
