We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
This role is primarily a counterintelligence (CI) analyst/operations position within a DoD/MDA context — it is not a conventional IT security or computer-systems role. The closest SOC code is 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts), but the day-to-day work (CI investigations, operations, collections, analysis, CIAR, SCIF operations) is closer to a government intelligence/security specialist occupation. 15-1299 is noted as an alternative given the ambiguity.
The only concrete technology named is Microsoft software applications (listed under Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities as a proficiency requirement). No other specific tools, platforms, or systems are mentioned.
A Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility is a hard gate explicitly stated in the qualifications.
Formal CI training and certification to USD/I approved standards pursuant to DoD Directive 5240.02 is a hard gate, but names no specific technology or tool — it is a credential/certification requirement captured in the notes rather than as a skill.
A Bachelor's degree in a Security/CI-related field is listed as preferred, not required; the minimum stated education is a High School Diploma or GED.
The '8+ years' requirement is tied to missile defense-related or DoD program/project experience — a role-level gate, not a per-technology requirement.
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.
