Why we read it this way (8)
This position is contingent on contract award expected in late August / early September 2026 — candidates should be aware there is no guaranteed start date.
The role is titled 'Systems Engineer' but the day-to-day work described (operating/maintaining data center and virtualized environments, RMF continuous monitoring, supporting computing capabilities) aligns more closely with IT infrastructure operations (15-1244) than software development (15-1252). The alt SOC reflects the ambiguity introduced by the 'Systems Engineer' framing and references to cloud/DevOps environments.
Windows Server and VMware are listed in the required experience section alongside 'a variety of system level applications' — they are treated as hard gates. The posting uses 'experience and knowledge of some of the following,' which introduces slight ambiguity, but the section is under required experience.
Cloud services (Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, containers) are framed with 'familiarity and/or experience' language, placing them as preferred rather than hard gates.
VMware Certified Professional (VCP) is explicitly listed as preferred.
US Citizenship is required (separate from the TS/SCI clearance requirement).
The BS degree in a technical discipline is listed under 'Position Education' without an explicit equivalent-experience alternative, so it is treated as a hard 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.
