Why we read it this way (12)
The role is on a 10-year government contract supporting an Intelligence Community customer; the posting does not specify a single work location beyond 'multiple locations worldwide,' so no CBSA could be determined.
Clearance requirement is TS/SCI with the ability to obtain a CI Polygraph — the polygraph is listed as an ability-to-obtain, not a hard gate on current possession, but TS/SCI itself is a firm requirement.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts 'an equivalent combination of education, technical training, or relevant military/work experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is flagged.
Experience range is stated as '5–10 years'; 5 years is used as the minimum.
The security tools requirement (ACAS, HBSS, Carbon Black, Tanium, RedSeal) is listed as 'or equivalent' in the Required Skills section — these are treated as hard gates on the capability, with the named tools as the primary options.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends hands-on cybersecurity engineering/ISSO functions (15-1212) with significant network infrastructure operations and sustainment work (15-1244); 15-1212 was chosen as the primary given the dominant IA/compliance/ISSO framing.
Splunk and Elastic are listed together under Desired Skills as an enterprise SIEM example; Elastic is captured as an alternative to Splunk.
IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) appears under Desired Skills alongside security automation; no specific tool is named.
'A&A documentation' and 'POA&M' are named as distinct process artifacts explicitly required by the JD; they are retained as skills because the JD gates on demonstrated experience with them as concrete work products, not generic methodology.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53, A&A 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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
