A systems engineering role supporting a government program, responsible for maintaining technical documentation, architecture/dataflow artifacts, and standard operating procedures, while facilitating Agile sprint ceremonies, user helpdesk support, and end-user release testing.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting requires a current polygraph (Poly) clearance — this is treated as a TS/SCI-with-poly gate, the highest clearance tier.
Work location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. The role is likely on-site at a government facility given the clearance requirement, but no city or region is stated.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a qualified engineering field plus 4 years of SE experience, OR 14+ years of overall SE experience — the degree is effectively required unless the experience threshold substitutes for it. Marked as Bachelor's required given the explicit degree language.
Most skills described (documentation, sprint facilitation, helpdesk support, lifecycle process areas) are responsibilities rather than named technologies or tools, so the skills list is intentionally limited to the concrete, named requirements the posting actually states.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Systems lifecycle management, Technical documentation.
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.
