Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is a genuine judgement call: the role's primary day-to-day work is administering and operating an AVD/VDI environment (provisioning, patching, monitoring, incident response), which maps to 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators. However, the scripting/automation component (PowerShell, Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code flavour push toward 15-1252 Software Developers; 15-1244 was chosen because the dominant activity is operating and maintaining infrastructure rather than building software.
The JD states '3 to 6 years' of experience; 3 years (the minimum) is used for the overall years minimum. The scope and requirements support a Mid-level band despite the range extending to 6 years.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly states 'Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of a formal degree.'
