Why we read it this way (7)
This posting covers multiple experience levels (Level 2, 3, and 4), ranging from 2 years with a Bachelor's up to 13 years with a High School diploma. The advertised level is 'Mid' per the posting's own 'Level of Experience' field, but the actual hire could range from Mid to Senior depending on the selected applicant.
The role is on-site supporting U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM); the posting does not specify an exact city, but SOUTHCOM HQ is in Doral, FL (Miami metro area), which is the most likely work location.
A Secret clearance is explicitly required ('Must possess and maintain a Secret clearance').
No specific named technologies or tools (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Informatica, Python) are called out in the requirements — only capability categories (ETL pipelines, ingestion tools, scripting). Skills are extracted at the category level accordingly.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly accepts a High School diploma plus equivalent years of experience as an alternative to a Bachelor's or higher degree at every level.
The SOC code 15-1243 (Database Architects) is the closest fit given the data architecture and pipeline design focus, though 15-1299 is a reasonable alternative given the broad 'Data Engineer/Architect' framing without specific database platform emphasis.
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.
