Why we read it this way (9)
The job title is 'Network Engineer' but the role's primary work is operating and maintaining classified network infrastructure (switches, routers, firewalls, patching, vulnerability scanning, STIG/RMF compliance) rather than building new software or automation tooling — hence classified as Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244). Information Security Analysts (15-1212) is a plausible runner-up given the heavy security compliance and hardening duties.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting. Lockheed Martin's EBDT Classified IT operations are spread across multiple facilities; no specific city or CBSA could be confirmed from the text.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'Top Secret Clearance Required with the ability to Obtain and Maintain a CI Polygraph' in Basic Qualifications and confirmed as 'TS/SCI w/Poly' in the Clearance Level field — classified as TopSecretSci.
The 4+ years experience figure appears only under Desired Skills, not Basic Qualifications; however, it is the only stated overall experience figure and has been used as the overall years minimum. The role's scope (mentoring junior staff, classified enterprise infrastructure, DoD compliance) independently supports a Senior classification.
Security+ is listed as a hard gate in Basic Qualifications (IAT-Level II / 8570-compliant); the Desired Skills section expands the list of acceptable equivalents (GSEC, SCNP, SSCP, CISSP, CISA, GSE, SCNA) — these are captured as alternatives.
Scripting/automation (PowerShell, Bash, Python) appears only under Desired Skills and is marked preferred accordingly.
JIRA and Confluence are mentioned in the Responsibilities section as operational tools, not in a requirements block — marked preferred.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Firewall policy management, Aria Operations.
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.
