Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'SCM Analyst' with no seniority level in the title; the experience range of 2–9+ years spans Junior through Senior, so Mid is the most defensible single band given the lower bound and the relatively structured, process-enforcement nature of the work.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on release engineering, CI/CD pipeline support, and build automation (pointing toward 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong configuration management / operations flavor (15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen because the JD explicitly calls for developing automation tools through scripting/programming and implementing CI/CD pipelines.
No work location or metro area is stated in the posting; the DoD/secure environment context and Secret clearance requirement suggest an on-site US position, but the specific city/state is unknown.
The experience range '2–9+ years' is unusually wide; the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the stated minimum).
ClearCase, Docker, scripting/programming automation, and Agile experience all appear under a secondary unlabeled 'nice-to-have' block (separated from the primary requirements list by a dash), so they are marked preferred.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree and 2–9+ years…' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
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.
