Why we read it this way (10)
Location is not specified in the posting — the role supports a federal DOJ customer, likely in the Washington, DC area, but no city or metro is stated. CBSA left blank.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in a relevant field but explicitly allows substitution with 'relevant professional experience' — treated as no hard degree gate.
The role carries significant team leadership and supervisory duties (supervising personnel, managing deliverables, executive briefings), which creates genuine ambiguity between an IC security analyst (15-1212) and a people-manager (11-3021). The primary day-to-day work described is hands-on cybersecurity operations and incident response, so 15-1212 is the primary code, with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
The 'Required Technical Experience' section lists skills as 'one or more of the following' — this is a broad list where any combination qualifies. SIEM, SOAR, EDR, IDS/IPS, vulnerability management tools, threat intelligence, malware analysis, digital forensics, and threat hunting are all listed under this required block and are marked as hard gates accordingly, consistent with the section's placement.
Certifications (CISSP, CISM, GCIH, CySA+, Security+, CEH, CASP+) appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are listed as 'highly desired' — not hard gates.
Cloud security experience (Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365) appears under 'Preferred Qualifications' only.
A DOJ Public Trust is required (ability to obtain and maintain), but this is not a national security clearance — it is a suitability/fitness determination. Clearance field is set to None accordingly.
U.S. Citizenship is a hard requirement per the posting.
The 5-year total experience minimum is at the role level (federal cybersecurity); the 3-year sub-requirement for SOC/incident response/vulnerability management/threat hunting is a domain-specific gate within that overall requirement.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Malware analysis.
