Why we read it this way (9)
The role sits between desktop/end-user support (15-1232) and systems administration (15-1244); the emphasis on enterprise Linux/Windows infrastructure, scripting, and working with System Engineers tips it toward 15-1244, but a meaningful portion of the work is deskside/helpdesk support.
The job title is not stated in the posting; the role is inferred from the responsibilities and qualifications.
Linux and Windows are listed together as a combined requirement ('UNIX/Linux and/or Windows'); Linux is used as the primary skill name with Windows in alternatives to reflect the 'and/or' framing.
Scripting languages (Bash, Python, PowerShell, Perl) are listed as 'knowledge of common scripting languages such as' — the 'such as' qualifier means the specific language is interchangeable; Bash is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Jira is named explicitly in the job description as the ticketing system used; it appears in the responsibilities narrative rather than a formal requirements section, but it is presented as a tool the candidate will actively use day-to-day.
macOS (listed as 'OSX' in the posting) is included as a required platform alongside Linux and Windows in the responsibilities section.
Google Workspace (listed as 'Gmail and Google Suite') appears under the 'What can I offer?' section, which is framed as preferred/nice-to-have experience.
The degree requirement is None because the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent work experience' in lieu of an undergraduate degree.
The salary range of $70,000–$85,000/year and the on-site requirement at the DreamWorks/NBCUniversal worksite (Los Angeles area) are explicitly stated.
