What this job asks for AI summary
This role involves maintaining and extending a suite of custom cybersecurity software tools — including Interrogator, CSSP Subscriber Manager, and RMF Writer — deployed on a RHEL infrastructure in support of U.S. Army cyber defense research. Day-to-day work spans multi-language development (Python, PHP, JavaScript, C/C++, Java), troubleshooting, and applying emerging techniques such as machine learning, cloud/virtualization, and modern UI approaches to existing systems. A TS/SCI clearance and an IAT Level I certification are required.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role requires TS/SCI clearance, which is a hard gate explicitly stated in the Required qualifications section.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or an IT-related field is explicitly required with no equivalent-experience substitution offered.
The JD requires possession of at least one IAT Level I certification (A+ CE, CCNA-Security, CND, Network+ CE, or SSCP) as a hard gate, but these are certifications rather than named technologies and are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
Experience with the specific government tools (Interrogator, CSSP Subscriber Manager, RMF Writer) is listed as required, but these are highly specialized government/program-specific tools with no canonical industry name and are not emitted as skills.
ML, cloud computing, and virtualization appear only in the 'Advance the state of the art' responsibilities narrative rather than in the Required qualifications block, so they are treated as preferred context rather than hard gates.
RHEL is listed as the primary deployment infrastructure in the responsibilities section rather than the qualifications block; it is included as a required skill given the role's primary deployment environment, but this is a mild judgement call.
The role sits at the intersection of software development and cyber/information security (supporting the Army C5ISR Center's cyber defense research); 15-1212 is noted as a plausible alternative SOC given the cyber defense mission context.
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.
