Why we read it this way (5)
The posting title is 'Security / IAM Architect' — it sits between a pure Information Security Analyst (15-1212) and a broader architect/systems role (15-1299); 15-1212 was chosen as the primary because the day-to-day work centers on security policy, compliance, and access control rather than general software development.
The posting opens by requiring an active TS clearance and eligibility for a CI Polygraph, then the body requires TS/SCI. The clearance gate is coded as TopSecretSci (TS/SCI); the CI Polygraph eligibility requirement cannot be represented in the clearance field but is a meaningful additional gate for candidates.
No compensation figures, employment type, or degree requirement are stated in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): FIPS 140-2/3, SSP 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.
