“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.

How this req sits in the market our data

What the occupation pays Median $132,021 (middle half $99,961–$167,095).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

Location is not specified in the posting; the role supports a DoD program (JTMS) and likely requires on-site or hybrid presence given the Secret clearance requirement, but no city or state is stated.

The Bachelor's degree appears only under 'Preferred Skills', so it is not treated as a hard requirement.

CyberArk PAM is mentioned in both the Responsibilities section (as a task to support) and the Preferred Skills section (as a preferred qualification); it is treated as preferred since the Preferred Skills heading governs the explicit qualification gate.

DoD 8140.03M DCWF Basic Tier Certification with CEH is listed as a hard requirement in Minimum Requirements; Intermediate-tier certifications (CEH-P, GSEC, Security+, etc.) appear only under Preferred Skills.

The 3–5 year range maps to a Mid-level role on the standard career ladder; the title carries no explicit seniority label.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.

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.
