Why we read it this way (8)
The role sits at the boundary between DevSecOps/platform engineering (writing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automation code) and systems administration (administering Atlassian tools, managing heterogeneous environments). It was classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary emphasis is on building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automation; 15-1244 (Systems Administrators) is the runner-up given the Atlassian admin and environment-management duties.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'Top Secret' in the posting; TS/SCI is not explicitly mentioned.
The salary range quoted ($97,100–$171,235/year) applies specifically to Colorado (and several other named states); the posting notes the range may differ for other locations.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated; the role is labeled 'Experienced Professional' by Lockheed Martin's internal career framework, which informed the Mid seniority assessment alongside the breadth of required skills.
Bash is listed as the primary scripting skill with Python and PowerShell as named alternatives, reflecting the posting's 'bash, Python, PowerShell, batch, etc.' phrasing under a single scripting requirement.
GitLab is listed as the primary CI/CD pipeline tool with Jenkins and Bamboo as named alternatives per the posting's explicit list.
Atlassian System Administrator skills are called out as 'highly desired' within the Desired Skills section.
Requires a Top 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.
