Why we read it this way (7)
The role is genuinely ambiguous in occupation: the title and stated background call for a 'software engineer' with 10+ years, but the day-to-day activities described (Help Desk Tier 1/2 support, IT systems operations, monitoring, configuration management, user assistance) are squarely IT operations/systems administration work. SOC 15-1244 was chosen to reflect the actual described duties; 15-1252 is a strong runner-up given the stated experience requirement and title framing.
A current Polygraph clearance is explicitly required ('You must hold a current Poly clearance'), mapped to TopSecretSci.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field is required, but 4+ years of additional software engineering experience may be substituted — treated as no hard degree gate per extraction rules.
DevOps and AWS are listed with light language ('Experience with DevOps, AWS') in what appears to be a requirements section; marked as required given their placement alongside other hard requirements.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II or higher compliance is explicitly required.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
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.
