Why we read it this way (6)
The role blends infrastructure operations (containerized environments, networking, patching) with pipeline/automation engineering (GitLab CI/CD, IaC). It was classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary deliverables — building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and IaC automation — represent shipping code/tooling rather than purely operating existing systems; 15-1244 is a genuine runner-up given the heavy ops and maintenance framing.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: Bachelor's in a STEM discipline with 5 years' experience, OR Master's with 3 years, OR PhD. The minimum combination (PhD with no stated minimum years) makes a strict floor hard to pin down; 5 years is used as the overall years minimum based on the bachelor's path, which is the most common entry point.
CI/CD and GitLab are listed under the required qualifications section ('Maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines') and are treated as hard gates. All other technologies appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
CompTIA Security+ CE (or higher) is explicitly required. An interim DoD Secret clearance or higher is also a hard gate.
Familiarity with BMEWS/PAVE PAWS/PARCS radar systems is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is highly domain-specific; it is not captured as a named technology skill.
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.
