Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is titled 'Mid-level' but requires 9+ years of experience (with substitution paths requiring 11–15 years depending on education level), which aligns with a Senior-level role by actual scope and experience demanded.
The role straddles network architecture and cybersecurity/security engineering. It is classified under Information Security Analysts (15-1212) given the dominant emphasis on federal cybersecurity frameworks, security architecture, ATO packages, and continuous monitoring; Network/Systems Administration (15-1244) is the runner-up given the hands-on network engineering and configuration review duties.
Degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly accepts equivalent experience substitutions (Associates + 2 yrs, HS diploma + 6 yrs, or Master's + 6 yrs) in lieu of the stated Bachelor's degree.
Clearance is not hard-gated — the posting states candidates must be able to obtain FAA Public Trust, which is not a US national security clearance level.
The compensation body text cites '$105,100 – $160,125' for DC/NJ/Remote, while the posted salary range at the bottom reads '$105,100 – $164,125/Yr.' The higher figure from the formal salary range field is used.
CISSP, Security+, and CCNA are listed under Desired Qualifications and are treated as interchangeable preferred certifications.
SDN and NFV appear in the Desired Qualifications section and are marked preferred accordingly, even though SDN is also mentioned in the responsibilities narrative.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
