Why we read it this way (9)
The posting advertises two levels simultaneously — System Administrator II and System Administrator III — with the final title determined by experience. The advertised seniority is reported as 'Mid' (the lower of the two, 'II'), but the actual requirements (5+ years IT experience, 3+ years as a sysadmin, escalation ownership, mentoring, infrastructure project leadership) support a Senior classification.
The role is hybrid: 3 days on-site in Lenexa, KS and 2 days remote after an initial 6–12 month fully on-site training period. It is not fully remote.
The minimum degree stated is a High School diploma or equivalent, so no bachelor's degree is hard-required. A bachelor's in IT/CS is listed under Preferred Skills.
The 5-year IT experience figure is the highest overall experience gate stated ('Five or more years of IT experience'); the 3-year sysadmin requirement and 2-year Windows Server requirement are also in the Required section and are captured on the relevant skills.
VMware (vCenter or ESXi) is explicitly named in the Required section; Hyper-V appears only in the Preferred section as a certification pairing, so it is listed as an alternative to VMware rather than a standalone required skill.
Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 appear prominently in the job narrative and responsibilities but are not explicitly broken out as standalone line items in the Required Skills section; they are captured as preferred. Microsoft Azure itself is called out in the Required section ('Experience administering cloud environments (Microsoft Azure)').
SIEM tools and log management platforms, identity/access management technologies (SAML/LDAP/OIDC/SSO), and AI-related tools (Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, AIOps platforms) all appear under Preferred Skills and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate.
