Why we read it this way (10)
The role is titled 'DevSecOps Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 2+ years requirement and scope of work (building/maintaining pipelines, collaborating with dev teams) support a Mid-level classification.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes automation code and builds CI/CD pipelines (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong infrastructure operations and Linux administration component (pointing to 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes building pipelines and deployment automation over operating existing infrastructure.
Bamboo and Drone are listed together as interchangeable CI/CD tool examples ('like Bamboo and Drone'); emitted as one skill with Drone as an alternative.
Docker and Podman are similarly paired as container technology alternatives.
Terraform and Ansible appear under the 'What Sets You Apart' (preferred/nice-to-have) section alongside 'other infrastructure-as-code platforms'; emitted as preferred with Ansible as an alternative.
Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK are listed together as monitoring tool examples under the preferred section; emitted as one skill with Grafana and ELK as alternatives.
Vault and 'sealed secrets' are listed as secrets management tools under the preferred section; 'sealed secrets' is a Kubernetes-specific mechanism rather than a standalone product, so Vault is the primary named tool.
Degree requirement: the JD states a Bachelor's degree plus 2 years OR a Master's plus 6 months — a Master's alone does not satisfy the requirement, so Bachelor's is the minimum hard gate.
A Department of Defense Secret clearance is explicitly required at time of hire.
Requires a Secret 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.
