Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'ESRI Systems Engineer' but is functionally a GIS Administrator/Engineer — it sits most naturally in 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), as GIS administration is not cleanly captured by any single standard SOC code; 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the closest runner-up given the server/infrastructure administration duties.
C# and Java appear in the required qualifications section but are framed as secondary ('knowledge of'), suggesting they are supporting rather than gating skills; they are marked preferred accordingly.
The Bachelor's degree and 10 years of experience are listed under 'Nice to Have' and are therefore not treated as hard requirements.
DoDD 8570.01 certification is required to be obtained and maintained, but no specific certification level is named in the posting.
The salary range ($93,500–$196,500/year) is wide and explicitly noted as subject to factors including government contract wage rates and location.
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.
