Why we read it this way (9)
The posting advertises two levels — 'Systems Engineer Senior' (6+ years or Bachelor's) and 'Systems Engineer Principal' (8+ years or Bachelor's). The title and salary range suggest the Senior level is the primary target; seniority is assessed accordingly.
A Bachelor's degree in IT is listed but explicitly waivable with 6+ (Senior) or 8+ (Principal) years of experience, so no hard degree requirement is set.
An active TS/SCI with a favorable polygraph is a hard gate stated in the requirements section.
DoD 8140 certification with Security+ CE as the cited example is listed in the requirements block and treated as a hard gate; the specific cert (Security+) is captured separately.
Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate is explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
The location is listed as 'Onsite' with no city specified; the role is for a defense intelligence customer, and GDIT's primary cleared-work hub is the Washington DC metro area — CBSA assigned on that basis.
The alt SOC (15-1252) is noted because the role includes scripting, task sequencing, and application packaging, which carry a software-development flavor, but the primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining endpoint infrastructure.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Patch Management, Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator Associate.
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.
