Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a judgment call: the role is primarily infrastructure administration (provisioning, AD, M365 tenancy, backup/DR, networking) which maps to 15-1244, but the PowerShell automation emphasis and project-lead scope introduce some 15-1252 signal. 15-1244 was chosen as the primary because the day-to-day work is operating and administering systems rather than shipping software.
Compensation is stated as 'up to $110K', so both min and max are set to $110,000 — the posting gives no lower bound.
Virtualization is listed as a single prioritized requirement ('Scale Computing, VMware vSphere, and/or Hyper-V/Azure Stack'); VMware vSphere is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives, reflecting the JD's 'or' framing.
Intune and Microsoft Sentinel appear only under the Preferred Skills section, so they are marked as preferred despite being Microsoft-stack items also referenced in the responsibilities narrative.
ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, and ServiceNow are listed together under Preferred Skills as interchangeable ITSM platform options; ConnectWise is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Certificate services, OneDrive for Business, DLP policies, VLANs/routing/firewalling/VPN/SD-WAN, and Microsoft certifications (M365 Admin Expert, MS-102, AZ-104, SC-series) and vendor certs (VCP/VCAP/VCDX, CompTIA Security+/CySA+, ITIL v4) were not emitted as skills — these are either generic networking concepts, sub-features of already-captured platforms, or certification credentials rather than discrete named technologies.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
