Why we read it this way (7)
The TS/SCI clearance requirement is framed as 'must be able to obtain and maintain' — the ideal candidate already holds an active Secret clearance. The posting gates on the ability to obtain TS/SCI, not on already holding it.
DoD 8570.01 certification is required at IAM Level II, IAT Level II, OR IASAE Level II — these are listed as interchangeable qualifying certifications, so they are captured as a single requirement with alternatives.
The degree requirement lists several specific technical disciplines (Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mathematics with CS concentration, or equivalent technical discipline). 'Equivalent technical discipline' suggests some flexibility, but a bachelor's-level credential in a technical field is clearly a hard gate.
Skills such as 'executive briefings' and 'advanced cybersecurity certifications' appear only under the Preferred Qualifications section.
The role is explicitly onsite at the G2 Ops San Diego office and customer site; telework is noted as potentially available depending on program requirements but is not guaranteed — remote is set to false.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD Risk Management Framework, DoD 8570.01 IAM Level II.
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.
