Why we read it this way (9)
The job posting does not specify a work location beyond tagging '#Intel', suggesting an Intelligence Community site. No CBSA could be determined from the posting.
The clearance requirement is explicitly stated as TS/SCI with a favorably completed government-issued polygraph — a hard gate.
Security+ is listed under 'Other Job Requirements' with the qualifier 'or ability to obtain,' meaning the certification itself is not strictly required on day one, but the requirement is still a hard gate on the capability/path.
The degree requirement accepts a combination of education and experience (9 years total if non-degreed), so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Total years minimum is set to 5, reflecting the stated '4-year degree plus 5 years' baseline (the non-degreed path of 9 years is an alternative, not a higher floor).
The role is classified as Systems Administrator (15-1244) rather than Information Security Analyst (15-1212) because the primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining the Windows/VMware environment; cybersecurity compliance (RMF, SCAP, CONMON) is a significant but secondary responsibility.
ICS/SCADA (Cimplicity, Wunderlich, Lutron) experience appears in the narrative job description context rather than the explicit requirements list, so it is marked as preferred.
CNE, CNA, and Computer Science degree are listed under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are not hard gates.
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.
