Why we read it this way (6)

This role sits at the intersection of identity/access administration and information security; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) was chosen as primary because the core duties — remediating security risks, enforcing least privilege, configuring identity protection controls, and PAM — are security-focused, but 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a genuine runner-up given the heavy AD/Entra administration work.

The experience requirement is structured in two overlapping tiers: 3 years of general experience and 4 years of specialized experience. The higher figure (4 years) is used as the overall years minimum since it is the binding specialized gate.

The 3+ years in Microsoft Entra (Azure) is explicitly stated in the Minimum Qualifications section and is treated as a hard gate with the years demanded of 3.

No compensation figures are listed in the posting. The role is federal excepted service (Federal Public Defender), so pay would follow federal pay scales, but no specific grade or salary range is stated.

A satisfactory FBI background check (name and fingerprints) is required for employment, but no formal US security clearance is gated.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Privileged Access Management, Role-Based Access Control.
