We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting states 'A CURRENT SECURITY CLEARANCE WITH FS IS REQUIRED' — 'FS' most likely refers to Full Scope (polygraph), indicating a TS/SCI with Full Scope polygraph requirement. Classified as TopSecretSci accordingly.
The degree requirement is stated as 'A Bachelor's degree in a Qualified Engineering Field' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the role's geography is unknown. Given ELEVI's typical government/DoD customer base, the role is likely in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, but this is not confirmed in the text.
NiFi is listed under Required Skills but framed as 'Basic understanding… or be able to learn it quickly,' suggesting a soft gate; however, it appears in the Required Skills section so it is treated as a hard requirement.
SIGINT, Military Cryptologic, and Electronic Warfare domain knowledge are described as required/desired but name no specific software tool or platform, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends systems engineering, data flow architecture, and requirements elicitation — closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), though a case could be made for 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) given the SIGINT/military systems focus.
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.
