Why we read it this way (7)
The title says 'Senior Cyber Support Developer' but the actual requirements — 5+ years of software administration, virtual environment maintenance, ServiceNow instance management, and system patching/access control — describe a systems/infrastructure administration role more than software development. SOC 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) best fits the primary day-to-day work; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the 'Developer' framing and pipeline automation duties.
The seniority band is assessed as Mid despite the 'Senior' title: 5 years of experience and the described scope (maintaining instances, patching, access controls) align with mid-level systems administration work rather than a senior-level scope.
The IAT Level II certification (GSEC, Security+, SSCP, or CCNA-Security) is listed as a hard requirement under Minimum Qualifications, with a 6-month grace period to obtain it — treated as a required gate.
Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, AWS EKS, and Linux server administration all appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
A current/active TS/SCI with Polygraph is a hard clearance gate.
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.
