Why we read it this way (8)
The job location is not explicitly stated in the posting; Lockheed Martin's JASSM/RMS programs are primarily associated with Orlando, FL and other LM facilities, but no specific city is confirmed — CBSA left blank.
The role is part-time remote (hybrid), not fully remote — the employee works partly at a designated Lockheed Martin facility.
The posting requires an active Secret clearance as a hard gate; a TS/SCI is listed under Desired Skills as something the candidate should be 'able to obtain,' not a current requirement.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends DevSecOps pipeline engineering (15-1252) with infrastructure/systems administration duties (15-1244). The emphasis on building and managing CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code tips it toward 15-1252.
Programming language experience (C, C++, Python, PowerShell, TypeScript, C#, Java) is listed as a single requirement with alternatives; Python is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
Agile tooling (Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence) is listed as a single requirement; Jira is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Experience with Government IL6 cloud environments (Cloud One, CloudWorks) appears only under Desired Skills.
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.
