Why we read it this way (8)
The role is classified under Deloitte's 'Project Delivery Talent Model,' meaning employment is tied to a specific client engagement with no business development or promotion expectations.
The 3+ years experience requirement applies collectively across all five listed required skills (Network Engineering, Firewall Management, Linux/Red Hat, Cisco, IP Routing) — it is not clear whether 3 years is required in each individually or across the group as a whole.
Red Hat is the specific Linux distribution mentioned; 'Linux' is used as the canonical skill name with Red Hat as the implied variant.
Skills such as intrusion detection systems, network monitoring, scripting, SAFe, and DevSecOps appear in the narrative 'Work You'll Do' section rather than the formal Required Qualifications block, so they are treated as preferred/contextual rather than hard gates.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends network engineering/administration (15-1244) with security-focused work (15-1212); the primary day-to-day emphasis on network hardware, routing, and firewall management tips it toward 15-1244.
The compensation range ($116,200–$193,600/year) is explicitly noted as not adjusted for the Colorado Springs geographic differential.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Network Engineering, Firewall Management.
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.
