Why we read it this way (7)
The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) because the primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining existing Linux/Windows infrastructure, storage systems, and network management platforms — not building new software or tooling. 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the DISA/STIG security hardening emphasis and DoD-8570 IAT Level 2 certification requirement.
The DoD-8570 IAT Level 2 baseline certification (Security+ CE or equivalent) is listed as a hard requirement. Alternatives shown reflect other accepted IAT Level 2 baseline certs under DoD 8570.
Degree requirement is set to None: the posting states 'specific experience, education and training may be considered in lieu of degree,' making the Bachelor's degree non-binding.
The 8-year experience requirement is stated specifically against Unix/Red Hat Linux experience, but also reads as the overall role-level minimum; it is captured in total years.
Several 'Desired Qualifications' items (NM/EM integration, SAN/NAS, Ethernet switches) overlap with items also listed under Minimum Qualifications. The duplicated items are retained as required based on their presence in the required section; the desired-section framing is noted here.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a Top 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.
