Why we read it this way (7)
The job description contains internally inconsistent boilerplate: the 'Work Environment', 'Supervisory Responsibility', and 'Physical Demands' sections describe an executive Navy leadership role (classified systems, Navy engagement, executive travel), which is clearly copy-pasted from a different posting and does not reflect this Cybersecurity Engineer role at CBO.
The clearance requirement is a Public Trust Tier 2 (not a national security clearance), so the clearance requirement is set to None — Public Trust is a suitability determination, not a security clearance in the DoD/IC sense.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent professional experience' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
CompTIA Security+ is explicitly required; CISSP, GIAC certifications (GCIH/GCIA), and CEH are listed as 'strongly preferred' — captured as a preferred skill with alternatives.
AWS and Azure appear together under cloud security experience with 'and/or' framing, so they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single hard-gate cloud security requirement.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-207.
