Why we read it this way (9)
This role sits at the intersection of cybersecurity advisory, AI/ML evaluation, and intelligent automation engineering. 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) was chosen as the primary SOC because the core mission is DoD cybersecurity modernization and RMF/ATO process improvement; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up given the heavy automation and AI advisory work that doesn't map cleanly to a single occupation.
The posting lists a hybrid work arrangement requiring periodic travel to Fort Meade, MD and Chambersburg, PA; it is not fully remote.
A DoD Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility is a hard gate explicitly stated in the requirements.
DoD 8140/8570 IAT/IAM Level III certification (or higher) is required but is a certification requirement rather than a named technology skill, so it is captured here in notes rather than as a skill entry.
NIST SP 800-37 and NIST SP 800-53 (along with CNSSI-1253, DoDI 8500.01, DoDI 8510.01) are listed as required working knowledge; they are framework/standards references rather than tools, but are included as skills given their explicit gate status in the requirements section.
ServiceNow, Power BI, and Zero Trust appear in both the required section (as examples/familiarity) and the preferred section; they are marked preferred because the required-section language uses 'such as' and 'familiarity with,' while the preferred section reinforces them as nice-to-haves.
ITIL 4 Foundation and Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt are listed under Preferred Qualifications as certifications, not named technologies, so they are captured in notes only.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-37, NIST SP 800-53.
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.
