Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits between network operations (15-1244) and network architecture (15-1241); the JD emphasizes hands-on configuration, deployment, and support of existing infrastructure rather than designing new architectures, so 15-1244 is the primary code, with 15-1241 as the runner-up.
Cisco IOS, NX-OS, and XR are listed as a single multi-OS vendor requirement; they are emitted as one skill (Cisco IOS) with NX-OS and XR as alternatives since the JD treats them as a combined platform requirement.
AWS and Azure are listed together in the context of network configurations (Direct Connect, Express Route) — both are treated as required since the JD names both explicitly under Requirements.
Panorama (Palo Alto's centralized firewall management platform) is called out explicitly as a required hands-on skill under Requirements.
The preferred qualifications section covers a broad set of routing/switching protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS, QoS, Multicast, IPsec, vPC, VRF, L3VPN, Segment Routing, Traffic Engineering) and automation tools (Ansible, Git) — all marked preferred.
The position is hybrid (minimum four days/week in-office at Universal City or DreamWorks Animation in the Los Angeles area), not fully remote.
