What this job asks for AI summary
A Cloud Systems Engineer role supporting USSOCOM's SITEC-3 EOM contract at MacDill AFB, Florida. The position centers on designing, deploying, and managing enterprise cloud infrastructure across AWS and Microsoft Azure — including IaC, multi-region high-availability solutions, security and access controls, and cloud migrations — while providing Tier 3 support and mentoring junior cloud administrators. An active DoD TS/SCI clearance and DoD 8570 IAT II certification are hard requirements.

Why we read it this way (7)
The experience requirement is tiered by education level: 9 years with a high school diploma, 7 with an associate's, 5 with a bachelor's, or 3 with a master's. The overall years minimum is set to 5 (the bachelor's-level threshold, the most common baseline), but candidates without a degree may need up to 9 years.
AWS and Azure are listed together as a single combined requirement ('3+ years of AWS/Microsoft Azure experience'). They are extracted as separate skills with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that the posting treats them as a joint gate rather than requiring both independently.
The DoD 8140 Work Role Code 462 compliance (Control Systems Security Specialist – Intermediate) is listed under Desired Qualifications with a deadline of 1 Oct 2026, so it is treated as preferred rather than a current hard gate.
The role mixes cloud infrastructure engineering (IaC, design, deployment) with operational Tier 3 support duties, making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1252 Software Developers and 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators. The IaC and design emphasis tips the classification toward 15-1252.
Certifications listed under Desired Qualifications (Azure Expert, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, etc.) are treated as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 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.
