A principal-level security operations center analyst role supporting federal cyber missions on a Monday–Friday swing shift. The position involves information security and IT risk work requiring a Top Secret SCI clearance with polygraph, along with specific certifications (IAT II, CSSP Analyst, GMON, SCCU). It suits an experienced cyber professional with at least five years in the field looking to operate within a government-focused SOC environment.

Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'SOC Analyst Principal' uses 'Principal' as a seniority label, but the actual requirements (5+ years, no org-wide technical authority scope) support a Senior-level classification.
Clearance requirement is TS/SCI plus a polygraph ('Top Secret SCI + Polygraph'), mapped to TopSecretSci.
The posting lists four required certifications: IAT II (a DoD 8570 certification category), CSSP Analyst, GMON (GIAC Network Monitoring), and SCCU. 'CSSP Analyst' is a DoD role designation rather than a single named cert, so it is not emitted as a discrete skill; IAT II, GMON, and SCCU are the concrete named credentials.
The schedule is noted as 'Swings M-F' (swing shift), which is not representable in the structured fields but may be relevant to candidates.
Degree requirement is None — the posting accepts 'Technical Training, Certification(s) or Degree' as equivalent paths.
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.
