Why we read it this way (8)
The degree requirement specifies an ABET-accredited or NCAE-C designated institution specifically — a narrower gate than a generic bachelor's degree requirement.
The certification requirement (Security+ or equivalent) is listed under Minimum Qualifications but with a 30-day grace period to obtain it if not currently held; it is still treated as a hard gate since the JD explicitly requires it.
Cloud platform experience (Azure, Amazon C2S, GovCloud, Commercial Cloud) is listed under Minimum Qualifications with an 'e.g.' qualifier, indicating any comparable government cloud platform is acceptable — alternatives reflect the named options.
CI/CD, DevSecOps, and Agile appear under 'Preferred Additional Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
Tactical military experience is noted as 'strongly preferred' under the Preferred section — not captured as a named technology skill but worth noting for candidate sourcing.
The salary range ($92,075–$158,138.39/year) is explicitly stated as a target range, not a guarantee.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
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.
