Why we read it this way (6)
The role blends infrastructure-as-code authoring and automation (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) with cloud operations and systems administration (pointing to 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes designing, building, and automating infrastructure via code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CI/CD pipelines, scripting) rather than purely operating existing systems.
Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, and GitHub Actions appear in the Responsibilities narrative rather than the formal Qualifications section, so they are treated as preferred rather than hard gates.
The clearance requirement is soft: candidates must only be *able to obtain* a government clearance (and complete fingerprinting/background check), not hold an active clearance. Clearance is therefore set to None.
AWS certifications (AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty) are listed under Additional Qualifications alongside other preferred items; they are not in the primary Qualifications block and are treated as preferred.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
