Why we read it this way (7)
The experience requirement is tiered: Master's degree + 12 years, or Bachelor's degree + 20 years. The degree requirement field reflects the lower formal threshold (Bachelor's); the overall years minimum reflects the lower experience threshold (12 years) paired with the Master's path. Candidates on the Bachelor's path would need 20 years.
The clearance requirement states 'SECRET or above' — the field is set to Secret (the minimum stated gate). A higher clearance (e.g. Top Secret) would also satisfy the requirement.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting. The role's classified/DoD nature and lack of a remote statement strongly suggest an on-site requirement, but no specific site is named.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has substantial systems administration duties — Windows Server, Active Directory, GPOs, SCCM — that overlap with 15-1244. The primary framing is DevSecOps engineering and pipeline/IaC authorship, so 15-1252 was selected.
Coder (the cloud IDE platform) is listed under required skills as an example of an Integrated Development Environment experience; it is treated as a hard gate per its placement in the required section.
Cloud and container certifications (AWS, Azure, CKA, CKS) appear under the 'Desired Skills' heading and are marked preferred.
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.
