Why we read it this way (10)
The role is titled 'Journeyman Cyber Security Analyst' in the body — 'Journeyman' is an internal/DoD level designation, not a standard seniority word in the title field, so the title states no level. The actual requirements (BS+2 years or equivalent) support a Mid-level classification.
Experience requirement is tiered: MS+0, BS+2, AA+4, or HS+6 years. The minimum path (MS+0) technically requires no experience, but the most common path (BS+2) and the role's scope support Mid seniority; the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the BS path minimum).
The required certification is framed as DoD 8140 IAT II AND one of the listed CSSP Analyst/Incident Responder certs (CEH, CFR, CCNA Cyber Ops, CCNA-Security, CySA+, CHFI, GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, GICSP, Cloud+, SCYBER, PenTest+). These are all listed as interchangeable alternatives for the CSSP requirement.
CISSP, GIAC certs (GCIA, GCIH), and OSCP appear under 'Highly Desired' — treated as preferred.
Python/PowerShell scripting and threat hunting appear under 'Highly Desired' — treated as preferred.
Threat intelligence platforms appear under 'Highly Desired' — treated as preferred.
A bachelor's degree in a related field is listed under 'Highly Desired' as preferred or equivalent experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The role is on-site at Fort Bragg, NC (now Fort Liberty), which falls in the Fayetteville, NC CBSA.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8140 IAT II.
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.
