Why we read it this way (8)
The experience threshold is unusually high: the JD requires a Bachelor's degree plus 20+ years OR a high school diploma/GED plus 25+ years. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None. The overall years minimum is set to 20 (the lower of the two thresholds).
The role title is 'Tools Software Engineer' but the day-to-day work spans scripting/automation, COTS tool integration, and some systems administration. 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes developing scripts, automation solutions, and integrating/extending monitoring platforms; 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a credible runner-up given the heavy operational and infrastructure-administration duties.
PKI and SSL/TLS appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than a discrete 'Required' bullet, but the JD uses firm language ('Ensure enterprise monitoring solutions operate securely using PKI authentication… SSL/TLS communications') that reads as a hard gate rather than optional context.
The scripting/programming requirement lists Python, R, JavaScript, and Perl as alternatives; Python is named first and is the most common in this context, so it is the primary with the others captured as alternatives.
All OpenText sub-products (Operations Bridge Suite, APM, BPM, OPTIC Data Lake, OBR), Splunk, and Elastic appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Qualifications' heading and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 6 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): OpenText Enterprise Management, DoD 8570 IAT Level II, OpenText Operations Bridge Suite, OpenText Business Process Monitor, OpenText OPTIC Data Lake, OpenText Operations Bridge Reporter.
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.
