We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'RTM Systems Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; the title states no level. The minimum experience gate is 4 years (Bachelor's + 4 years or Master's + 2 years), which supports a Mid-level classification.
An active TS/SCI clearance is an explicit hard requirement.
Degree requirement: the JD requires a Bachelor's degree plus 4 years of experience OR a Master's plus 2 years — a Bachelor's is the minimum formal degree gate.
JIRA and Confluence are named throughout the required duties and the 'Requirements' section as core tools for this role.
SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) and RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix/Release Train Management) are central to the role's required duties and explicitly referenced in the Requirements section.
The 'Desired' section lists several preferred capabilities: configuring JIRA/Confluence governance, translating requirements into SAFe constructs, tracking dependencies, maintaining Confluence templates/macros, developing ADRs and interface specifications, cross-program coordination, automation/reporting/auditing, training and coaching, and NGA experience. These are marked as preferred.
Experience supporting the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is listed under 'Desired' and is preferred, not a hard gate.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily systems/requirements analysis and traceability governance (15-1211), but the 'RTM Systems Engineer' framing and coding-specification drafting requirement introduce some ambiguity with 15-1299.
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.
