Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role spans cloud engineering (infrastructure/operations) and security architecture (NIST, FedRAMP, Defender/Sentinel/Purview), making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1212 Information Security Analysts and 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators. Security posture, compliance, and threat-protection work is the dominant framing, so 15-1212 was chosen.
Clearance: the JD requires a Public Trust Tier 2 background investigation (FBI fingerprint check, Capitol Police vetting, CBO network access), not a formal DoD security clearance. Public Trust is not a clearance level under the standard DoD/IC framework, so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note this background investigation requirement is still a meaningful eligibility gate.
Degree: the JD states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent professional experience,' so no hard degree requirement is set.
The 'Supervisory Responsibility,' 'Work Environment,' and 'Physical Demands' sections appear to be boilerplate copied from a different (executive/Navy) role and do not reflect the actual CBO cloud engineering position described elsewhere in the posting.
Multiple Microsoft certifications are listed under 'Additional Eligibility Qualifications' with a requirement that they have been maintained for at least 5 years and used professionally. These are certification credentials rather than named technologies, so they are not emitted as individual skills; the underlying technologies they certify (M365, Azure, Intune, Entra ID, etc.) are captured in the skills list.
Windows, macOS, and iOS appear in the context of Intune device management scope (narrative/operational detail) rather than as standalone required skills; they are marked preferred accordingly.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53, Zero Trust Architecture.
