Why we read it this way (8)
This role sits at the intersection of enterprise systems engineering, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, and DoD network modernization — no single SOC code fits cleanly. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used for the 'Systems Engineer' framing spanning multiple disciplines; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the close runner-up given the heavy Zero Trust, DLP, DRM, and cybersecurity emphasis.
The DoD Top Secret clearance is explicitly required ('Must have and maintain a current DoD Top Secret clearance'). The posting does not specify TS/SCI, so clearance is coded as TopSecret rather than TopSecretSci.
The DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II certification (Security+, CySA+, CCNA Security, or equivalent) is listed as a hard requirement. Security+ is named as the primary with the others captured as alternatives.
Palo Alto NGFW, ArcSight, FireEye, and McAfee NSM are listed together as 'or similar' — one skill is emitted with the named alternatives captured accordingly.
The role requires onsite presence at Fort Meade, MD; remote is false. The CBSA reflects the broader Washington DC metro area, which encompasses Fort Meade.
Preferred qualifications (CISSP, CCSP, Azure/AWS Solutions Architect, TOGAF, PMP, CIE, DCS, MSS, edge computing, cloud federation experience) are marked as preferred, as they appear under an explicit 'Preferred Qualifications' heading.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Zero Trust Architecture, DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II, Enterprise Data Management.
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.
