Why we read it this way (11)
The role title is 'System Information Assurance and Security Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 5+ years of IAM architecture experience and scope of responsibilities (enterprise architecture, leading POCs, briefing senior leadership) firmly support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends identity/access management engineering with cybersecurity compliance (RMF, NIST, DoD 8140/8570), sitting between Information Security Analysts (15-1212) and the broader Computer Occupations catch-all (15-1299). The security compliance and assurance framing edges it toward 15-1212.
The IAT Level II certification (Security+ CE, SSCP, or GSEC) is listed as a hard requirement; the three options are captured as alternatives on a single skill.
Advanced certifications (CISSP, ISSAP, ISSEP, ISSMP, CISM, CAP) are listed under the 'Preferred' section and are marked accordingly.
ZTNA and continuous authentication are listed under 'Preferred' as familiarity items.
The Okta/Radiant Logic/Ping Identity/SailPoint/ForgeRock/Microsoft Entra ID requirement is framed as 'experience with DoD enterprise solutions such as…or equivalent' — a hard gate on IAM platform experience, with the named tools captured as alternatives.
Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Primary work location is implied to be Washington, DC area (USSOCOM support context and Barbaricum HQ in DC); the posting does not explicitly state a city for this role but DC metro is the most reasonable inference.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Privileged Access Management, Identity Governance and Administration, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-207.
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.
