The posting mentions 'Cyber WorkForce (CWF) directives' and maintaining required certifications (e.g., DoD 8570/8140 baseline certs such as CompTIA Security+), but no specific certification is named as a hard gate.
The wide salary range ($88K–$155K) likely reflects variation across experience levels within the role.
