Why we read it this way (7)
The JD states 'active U.S. Government-issued security clearance at time of hire' and specifies it must be 'fully adjudicated (not an interim)' clearance. The level is not explicitly named (Secret vs. Top Secret), but given the Air Force/Space Force mission context, Secret is the most conservative reasonable interpretation; the actual level may be higher.
CompTIA Security+ is listed in the Basic Qualifications section but allows up to 180 days post-hire to obtain it — it is treated as a hard gate since it is in the required section, though the grace period softens the immediate barrier.
The JD duplicates several requirements (RESTful APIs/Shell/Bash/YAML, DevSecOps, programming languages, Security+) verbatim across the qualifications list; duplicates were collapsed into single skill entries.
AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS Solutions Architect Professional.
Requires a Secret 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.
