Why we read it this way (9)
The job location is not explicitly stated in the posting; it references on-site work at a Lockheed Martin facility supporting the JASSM program (likely a USAF-adjacent site), but no city or CBSA is named. CBSA left blank.
The role is part-time remote/part-time on-site ('Part-time Remote Telework'), so remote=false is used as the role cannot be done fully remotely.
A Secret clearance is the hard gate stated in Basic Qualifications and the Clearance Level field. The ability to obtain TS/SCI is listed under Desired Skills and is therefore preferred, not a hard gate.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role primarily maintains DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD environments (shipping tooling/automation code), pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers, but the operational maintenance framing (supporting environments, coordinating releases) also has affinity with 15-1244 Systems Administrators.
Programming language experience (C, C++, Python, PowerShell, TypeScript, C#, Java) is listed as a single requirement with alternatives; Python is used as the canonical primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
Agile tooling (Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence) is listed as a single requirement; Jira is the primary with the others as alternatives.
Infrastructure-as-code experience and end-to-end DevOps pipeline integration appear under Desired Skills and are treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in 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.
