Why we read it this way (9)
Location is not specified in the posting; the role supports U.S. Army INSCOM, which is headquartered in Fort Belvoir, VA / the Washington DC metro area, but no explicit work location is stated.
The JD states '10+ years of related experience' as the baseline requirement in the requisition header, while the body lists '12 years of experience' as 'Preferred Experience' — 10 years is used as the overall years minimum per the hard gate in the header.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'Preferred Education' only, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Security+ CE (or equivalent IAT Level II baseline cert) is explicitly required prior to contract support; CISSP and CASP+ are common accepted equivalents under DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
A Computing Environment (CE) Certification (any Microsoft Server or Azure cert) is listed as 'Desired' / a plus — marked as preferred accordingly.
The role requires candidates to be willing and able to obtain a CI Polygraph for certain positions; the clearance gate is TS/SCI, with polygraph as a potential additional requirement depending on the specific position.
The primary day-to-day work is operating and administering existing infrastructure (domain management, OS administration, Tier 1/2 support, account monitoring) rather than building new software or tooling, supporting 15-1244. The security compliance and policy enforcement elements create some overlap with 15-1212.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Domain Management, DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
