We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting requires an 'Active Public Trust clearance,' which is a federal suitability designation (background investigation), not a classified US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS). It is therefore not captured in the clearance requirement field, but candidates must already hold this designation.
The JD names no specific technologies, tools, or frameworks — all three required skills are functional/domain competencies (security advising, assessments, and solution design). No concrete named tools could be extracted.
The role is described as 'Blue Team,' indicating a defensive security focus (monitoring, detection, hardening) rather than offensive/red team work.
The posting is hybrid with an onsite requirement in Washington, DC, supporting the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) — a federal government client engagement.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security control implementation, cybersecurity risk communication.
