Why we read it this way (7)
The JD requires the ability to 'obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Clearance' — the candidate need not currently hold one, but must be eligible. Clearance gate is set to Secret accordingly.
U.S. Citizenship is explicitly required, as is the ability to support programs involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and to travel internationally.
Cloud networking (Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or similar) appears under 'Desired Skills & Experience' and is therefore marked preferred, even though Azure Government and AWS GovCloud are also mentioned in the role narrative.
Network automation tools (Python, Ansible, AWX, GitLab, Terraform, NetBox) are all listed under 'Desired Skills & Experience' and are marked preferred.
NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-53 are listed together in the required section as a single compliance framework requirement; they are captured as one skill with the other as an alternative.
The compensation figure ($130,000–$160,000) appears at the top of the posting with no explicit 'per year' label, but the magnitude and full-time context make an annual basis unambiguous — period is set to Year.
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.
