Why we read it this way (7)
The clearance requirement states 'Top Secret with the ability to sit for the CI Poly' — this is a TS clearance with a counterintelligence polygraph requirement, not a full TS/SCI. Mapped to TopSecret; hiring managers should note the CI Poly expectation.
AWS and Azure appear together under required skills as 'AWS and/or Azure', so Azure is captured as an alternative to AWS rather than a separate gate.
Splunk and Oracle/SQL also appear in the Preferred section, but since they are already listed under Required Skills, they are treated as hard gates.
The role title is 'Cloud Developer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 8-year experience requirement and independent design/development scope support a Senior classification.
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the SOC environment context suggests an on-site or cleared-facility role, but no city or state is named.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is framed as software/cloud development (15-1252), but the SOC/cyber environment and infrastructure migration duties introduce some overlap with 15-1244.
Requires a Top 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.
