Why we read it this way (7)
The role is placed at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in Washington, DC; no remote work is indicated and extensive travel is expected.
The clearance requirement is a Public Trust Tier 2 (not a national-security clearance), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents and pass FBI/Capitol Police background checks.
A Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field is listed, but the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
CCNP Enterprise is explicitly stated as required. CCIE and CCNP Security are listed as 'strongly preferred' — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
The Work Environment section references 'Navy leadership' and 'classified communication systems,' which appears to be boilerplate copied from another posting and does not reflect the actual CBO client environment described throughout the rest of the JD.
SOC code confidence is Medium: the role is primarily a senior network engineering/operations role (15-1244), but the heavy security posture, Zero Trust, RMF, and SIEM integration work creates a genuine pull toward Information Security Analysts (15-1212).
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Zero Trust Architecture, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-207.
