Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary day-to-day work is designing, building, and operating a cyber range network (infrastructure provisioning, routing/switching, segmentation, virtualization) — squarely 15-1244 — but the Red Team / adversary emulation context and security compliance requirements (STIGs, RMF, NIST 800-53) give 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) a credible claim as the runner-up.
Clearance gate: the posting explicitly requires an active Secret clearance with TS/SCI eligibility — candidates lacking this are disqualified.
Degree: the posting lists a Bachelor's degree but immediately qualifies it with 'or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-required.
The 8+ years figure is stated at the role level ('8+ years designing enterprise network infrastructure') and is treated as the overall experience floor, not tied to a single named technology.
All skills under the 'Desired' heading are marked preferred, including VMware/Proxmox/Hyper-V/KVM (grouped as alternatives), pfSense/OPNsense (grouped as alternatives), and the full list of scripting/automation/compliance/Red Team tools.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Layer 2/Layer 3 networking.
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.
