Why we read it this way (6)
The JD states a minimum of 1 year of hands-on Data Science experience, which is unusually low for a Data Architect title; the actual scope (enterprise data architecture, pipeline design, multi-source ingestion, leadership reporting) supports a Mid-level classification rather than Senior.
Secret clearance is listed under Requirements and is a hard gate. TS/SCI eligibility is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is therefore not required.
The JD mentions 'platform APIs' and 'NoSQL databases such as SQL, MongoDB' — SQL is listed alongside MongoDB as a named technology in the requirements block, so both are captured as hard gates.
Familiarity with DoD and a Master's degree are both listed under Preferred Qualifications only; neither is a hard requirement.
The alt SOC (15-2051 Data Scientists) is noted because the JD explicitly requires 'Data Science experience' and mentions supporting data scientists and ML engineers, though the primary day-to-day work described is data architecture and pipeline design.
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.
