Why we read it this way (5)
The job posting does not specify a work location beyond a reference to the '645 AESS' (an Air Force unit), so no CBSA could be determined. The role almost certainly requires on-site presence given the TS/SCI clearance and defense program context.
The overall experience requirement is stated in a tiered way (12 years with a bachelor's, 8 with a master's, 5 with a PhD). The role-level minimum is anchored at 5 years of hands-on network/infrastructure experience, which is used for the overall years minimum; the degree-ladder language implies a much longer career for most candidates.
The posting lists 'Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field' as a qualification, but does not explicitly accept equivalent experience in lieu of a degree — degree requirement is treated as a hard gate.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role spans network engineering (15-1244) and security compliance (15-1212). The primary day-to-day work — designing, deploying, and maintaining network and server infrastructure — aligns most closely with 15-1244, with 15-1212 as a meaningful runner-up given the heavy DoD/STIG security emphasis.
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.
