Why we read it this way (10)
The title 'Cybersecurity Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the depth of requirements (expert-level RMF/A&A, USMC-specific accreditation, ICS/OT policy writing, 20 years C&A/A&A experience as an alternative to a Master's degree) firmly supports a Senior classification.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD accepts '20 years C&A/A&A experience' as an explicit alternative to a Master's degree — neither is a hard gate on its own.
Total years minimum is set to 20, reflecting the stated alternative of '20 years C&A/A&A experience' in lieu of a Master's degree; this is the most concrete experience floor the JD provides.
CNSSI 4011, 4012, 4015, and 4016A are listed together as '(Required)' in the qualifications section; they are consolidated under CNSSI 4011 as a representative entry since they form a single grouped requirement for the CNSSI series.
The ICS CERT Training courses (101, 201, 202/301) appear under the 'We will be extra impressed if you have' section and are treated as preferred.
This position is explicitly part-time (20 hours/week), on-site at MCB Camp Lejeune / MCAS New River, NC. It is also noted as contingent upon contract award.
The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted because the 'Cybersecurity Architect' title blends architecture/design work with compliance/accreditation analysis; however, the dominant day-to-day work (security assessments, RMF, compliance, risk analysis) aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts (15-1212).
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
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.
Posting is for a part-time engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
