“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.

Why we read it this way (10)

The role is titled 'System Engineer' with no seniority modifier, but the 20-year minimum experience requirement and scope (leading IPTs, DoD acquisition programs) clearly support a Senior-level classification.

A TS/SCI with Polygraph is a hard gate explicitly stated under 'Required Security Clearance.'

A Bachelor's degree is required, but the JD allows substitution of 5 additional years of SE experience (25 years total) in lieu of the degree — the degree requirement is set to Bachelors as the stated baseline.

DoDAF and business system interoperability are listed as required qualifications; SOA is mentioned in context/narrative and is marked preferred.

Oracle PeopleSoft, CHI Momentum, and SAP NS2 are listed under 'Additional Details' as beneficial/familiar — treated as preferred. CHI Momentum and SAP NS2 are captured as alternatives since they serve the same business-system context.

Cloud Architecture familiarity and COTS Risk Assessment familiarity are explicitly described as 'beneficial' in the Additional Details section — treated as preferred.

The work location is Annapolis Junction, MD, which falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA. On-site presence is implied by the nature of the cleared DoD work; remote is set to false.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is a Systems Engineer on a DoD acquisition program, which sits between 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) and 15-1299 (Systems Engineers/Other Computer Occupations). BLS does not have a dedicated Systems Engineer code; 15-1211 is the closest match.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Cloud Architecture.

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.
