Why we read it this way (9)
The posting lists a range of '5-7 years' of experience; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound).
The required clearance is an active Secret, with the ability to obtain TS/SCI — the hard gate is Secret; TS/SCI is aspirational.
A Bachelor's or Master's degree is listed as required; Bachelor's is captured as the minimum.
Certifications in data science or cloud computing are listed as required but name no specific certification, so no skill entry was created.
Splunk and other named platforms (AESMP, Army 365, DISA circuit utilization, First Alert) appear in the responsibilities narrative as integration targets; Splunk is the only widely-recognized, independently-named tool and is captured. The others are Army/DoD-specific system names with no general market equivalent.
DOD IL4/IL5/IL6 cloud environments and CDS experience appear under the Desired section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The salary range is stated as a national average; actual compensation will vary by location and contract wage rates per the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DOD IL4/IL5/IL6 cloud environments.
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.
