Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists AWS and Azure together as the cloud environments the role works in — both are treated as required since the JD gates on developing accreditation packages for both.
STIG Viewer, eMASSter, and Tenable Nessus/Security Center are listed under Minimum Qualifications as tools the candidate 'must be familiar with', making them hard gates.
FISMA, RMF, Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework, DoDAF, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST 800 series, and FedRAMP all appear in the Minimum Qualifications block and are treated as required.
The advanced certifications (CISSP, CASP+ CE, CSSLP, ISSEP, ISSAP) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked as preferred accordingly.
The role is listed as remote but is tied to Virginia Beach, VA — the CBSA reflects that anchor location. Travel up to 25% is also required.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework.
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.
