Why we read it this way (8)
SOC classification is a close call: the role blends cloud infrastructure administration (15-1244) with security analysis and RMF compliance work (15-1212). The security documentation, RMF, and security architecture evaluation duties tipped the classification toward Information Security Analysts, but 15-1244 is a credible alternative.
No work location or remote status is stated in the posting; location and remote fields are left blank/false by default.
Degree requirement is marked None because the posting accepts an Associate's + 5 years, Bachelor's + 3 years, or Master's + 1 year — equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a higher degree, so no single minimum degree is hard-gated.
No active clearance is required; the posting only requires the ability to obtain DoD 8570 IAT Level III and Cybersecurity Service Provider – Infrastructure Support certifications within 30 days of start. These are certification obligations, not a pre-existing clearance gate.
Terraform is listed alongside CloudFormation and Bicep as interchangeable infrastructure-as-code options ('such as'); all three are captured under one skill with alternatives.
'Security documentation' and 'security architecture' are retained as skills because the posting ties them to concrete, named deliverables (system security plans, contingency plans, architecture evaluations) rather than generic soft-skill language.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security documentation, security architecture.
