Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Cybersecurity Architect II' implies a numeric level (II → Mid), consistent with the 3–5 years of experience required.
The posting does not specify a work location beyond NAVSEA 03D3 support; the Washington DC metro area is the most likely location given the Navy program office context, but this is inferred.
Security tools such as PKI, VPN, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems appear in the required responsibilities section ('Work with Security/IA products such as…'); the 'such as' qualifier means the specific tools are interchangeable examples of a hard-gated capability, so they are marked required.
Security certifications (Security+, CISSP, CEH) are listed under Desired qualifications and are marked preferred accordingly.
The salary range ($63,300–$129,700/year) is unusually wide; CACI notes that geographic location and contract wage rates are among the factors influencing final salary.
The alt SOC (15-1299) reflects that the title 'Cybersecurity Architect' has some design/architecture flavor, though the day-to-day work described — assessments, risk analysis, IA compliance — aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts (15-1212).
Requires a Secret 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.
