Why we read it this way (8)
The job posting does not specify a work location beyond a DoD/IC (NGA) environment. NGA's primary campuses are in the Washington, DC metro area (Springfield, VA) and St. Louis, MO; the CBSA has been left blank as the posting gives no explicit city or state.
The role title is 'DevSecOps Engineer' with no seniority modifier in the title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The requirements describe hands-on operational and pipeline work without explicit years of experience or broad org-wide scope, supporting a Mid-level classification.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and maintains CI/CD pipeline configurations and IaC (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong operational/infrastructure-ops flavor — managing deployments, change management, and compliance posture — which could support 15-1244. The primary day-to-day work of building and maintaining pipelines and IaC tips the classification to 15-1252.
The posting states 'Active TS clearance required; must be eligible for CI Polygraph' and later 'Active Top Secret/SCI security clearance' as a qualification. This is treated as a TS/SCI hard gate. The CI Polygraph eligibility requirement is noted here as it cannot be represented in the clearance field.
GitLab CI is listed as 'preferred' within the required skills block ('GitLab CI preferred'), but it sits inside the Required Skills/Experience section. Per extraction rules, section placement is authoritative — it is treated as a hard gate, with the 'preferred' qualifier indicating only that the specific tool is the preferred choice, not that CI/CD pipeline management itself is optional.
AWS is listed as 'preferred' within the required skills block ('AWS preferred'), similarly treated as a hard gate on cloud environment experience with AWS as the preferred platform.
MCP server deployment and AWS certifications appear under Preferred Skills/Experience and are omitted from the skills list as they are either non-specific technologies or credentials rather than concrete tool skills.
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.
