Why we read it this way (6)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'IT-II security clearance or a current NACLC.' IT-II is a federal IT position designation (a background investigation level), not a DoD collateral clearance tier. NACLC is the investigation typically associated with a Secret clearance. This has been mapped to Secret as the closest standard clearance gate; hiring managers should confirm the exact clearance level required with the contracting officer.
The role is Okta-identity-platform focused (IAM/SSO administration) with a strong security posture (Zero Trust, firewalls, enterprise integrations), making it a borderline case between Systems Administration (15-1244) and Information Security Analysis (15-1212). Day-to-day work centers on operating and maintaining the Okta environment rather than conducting security analysis, so 15-1244 is the primary code.
Load balancing is mentioned in the responsibilities narrative ('applies advanced technical knowledge of application networking, including load balancing applications') rather than in the explicit requirements section, so it is marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
