What this job asks for AI summary
This role focuses on integrating, administering, and troubleshooting communications systems within Special Operations Forces (SOF) environments. Day-to-day work spans network and systems administration — including OS installation, patching, backups, and performance monitoring — alongside diagnosing hardware and software issues in potentially austere or secure facility settings. It suits an early-to-mid career network/systems professional comfortable with distributed, regulated environments and willing to travel domestically and internationally.
Mid level · 2+ years · National · Bachelor's required · TS/SCI clearance · Full-time
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
No work location is specified in the posting; Attollo is headquartered in the Washington, DC area and primarily serves DoD/SOF clients, but no city or state is stated. CBSA left blank.
The clearance requirement is stated in two places: the Requirements section gates on 'active U.S. DoD Top Secret clearance or eligible to obtain one,' and separately calls out 'TS/SCI Clearance' — classified as TS/SCI accordingly.
The degree requirement ('Bachelor's degree in computer science or related technical discipline') is listed under a hard 'Education and Experience' section with no equivalent-experience escape clause.
Total experience is stated as '2-4 years'; minimum of 2 used for the overall years minimum.
MCSE, MCA, and VMware certifications appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are listed as interchangeable options ('or some subset of those certifications') — treated as preferred with alternatives.
The role is primarily systems/network operations and sustainment (troubleshooting, patching, backups, file servers) rather than building new software or infrastructure-as-code, supporting 15-1244. The SOF/military communications integration angle introduces some ambiguity, hence the alt code 15-1299.
Up to 50% travel (CONUS/OCONUS) is required — notable for candidates.
Ignored 7 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network systems administration, OS installation and patching, system backup and recovery, hardware troubleshooting, file server administration, systems engineering principles, SCIF/secure facility networking.
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.
