Why we read it this way (10)
The title says 'Jr. Systems Administrator' but the role requires 3+ years of experience, TS/SCI clearance, and independent Tier 1–3 support responsibilities — the actual scope supports a Mid-level classification.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree and 3+ years OR equivalent combination of education and experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
RHEL, Windows, and/or Storage administration are listed together as a single required skill with 'and/or' phrasing; Windows is also emitted separately since it appears independently throughout the responsibilities. Storage administration was not emitted as a standalone skill because the JD names no specific storage platform.
Retina and HBSS are named explicitly in the required responsibilities section as tools used to enforce STIG compliance.
PowerShell, Red Hat (scripting context), and Linux scripting appear under the Desired Skills section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The posting is for a 10-year government contract supporting an Intelligence Community customer; the specific work site location is not disclosed but is described as customer-site in the DC/IC corridor — CBSA estimated as Washington-Arlington-Alexandria based on IC context.
A valid US passport is listed as a requirement under Desired Skills, suggesting travel to international locations is possible; this is a logistical requirement not captured in the skills list.
CI polygraph eligibility is required (TS/SCI with CI poly eligibility), which is captured under TopSecretSci clearance.
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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
