What this job asks for AI summary

A mid-level cybersecurity role focused on two overlapping areas: traditional security operations (vulnerability scanning with ACAS/Tenable, STIG compliance assessments, POA&M tracking, and incident review via Microsoft 365 Defender and SIEM tools) and custom software development (building scripts, dashboards, automated workflows, and a Common Operational Picture using languages like PowerShell, Python, SQL, or Power BI). The position sits within a DoD/federal environment and requires an active Secret clearance.

Why we read it this way (10)

The role is titled 'Cyber Security Analyst II (Developer)', which maps to a mid-level band ('II'). The minimum experience requirement is 2 years with ACAS/Tenable, consistent with a mid-level position.

The role is genuinely hybrid between Information Security Analysis (vulnerability management, STIG compliance, incident response) and software/tool development (scripting, dashboards, automation). 15-1212 was chosen as primary because the security operations context and DoD compliance framework dominate the job description; 15-1252 is a close runner-up given the substantial custom tool and automation development duties.

No work location is specified in the posting. The role involves physical rack work and on-site collaboration with NEC Operations, suggesting an on-site or hybrid position at a federal/DoD facility, but no city or state is named.

The scripting/development language requirement (PowerShell, Python, SQL, JavaScript, C#, .NET) is listed under Knowledge/Skills/Abilities as 'such as … or similar technologies' — the requirement is for scripting/development capability; the named languages are interchangeable examples. PowerShell is listed first and is the most common in DoD/Windows environments.

DoD 8570 certification is a hard gate: candidates must hold it or obtain it within 6 months of contract start.

A Secret clearance (or higher) is explicitly required. The posting does not gate on TS/SCI.

The minimum degree is a High School Diploma/GED, which is the only hard-required credential. A Bachelor's degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications only.

Power BI and SharePoint dashboards appear under both the Knowledge/Skills/Abilities narrative and Preferred Qualifications; they are treated as preferred since they are not called out as hard gates in the Required Qualifications section.

RMF and POA&M experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.

Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
