Why we read it this way (7)
The hard-required clearance is stated as 'Final Secret' in Basic Qualifications, but the Clearance Level field and Desired Skills section reference Top Secret (with SCI eligibility as a nice-to-have). The minimum gate is Secret; TS/SCI is preferred.
The role is titled 'Dev Sec Ops Engineer' / 'Cloud DevOPS Engineer' and spans both infrastructure operations (system administration, virtualization) and automation/pipeline development (CI/CD, scripting). The SOC is a judgment call — the emphasis on designing, implementing, and automating with code tips it toward Software Developers (15-1252) over Systems Administrators (15-1244), but the ops/sysadmin duties are substantial.
Linux and Windows Server are listed as an either/or gate in Basic Qualifications ('Linux and/or Windows Server system administration'); Linux is used as the primary skill name with Windows Server as the alternative.
Bash, Python, PowerShell, and Ansible are listed as interchangeable scripting options in Basic Qualifications; Bash is used as the primary with the others as alternatives. Ansible also appears separately under Desired Skills for configuration management, where it is preferred.
DOD 8570 certification (e.g., Security+ CE) is required within 3 months of start — this is a compliance/certification requirement, not a named technology skill, so it is not listed in the skills table.
The compensation range quoted ($109,200–$192,510/year) applies specifically to Colorado (among other listed states); ranges in other states may differ per the posting.
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.
