Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not stated in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. Given the DoD/DoW Operations Center context, the role is almost certainly on-site at a government facility, so remote=false.
The role sits at the intersection of security operations (SOC/NOC, TS/SCI, IAT Level II) and advanced Splunk platform engineering (cluster management, MLTK, AIOps). 15-1212 Information Security Analysts is the primary classification given the clearance, SOC/NOC context, and security-certification gate; 15-1244 is the runner-up given the heavy infrastructure/platform-administration scope.
The 7-year Splunk requirement is used as the overall years minimum since it is the longest role-level experience gate stated; no separate overall experience floor is given.
The IAT Level II certification requirement is captured as Security+ (the most common IAT II cert) with the other acceptable certs (CySA+, GSEC, SSCP) listed as alternatives — the posting treats them as interchangeable.
Python is named parenthetically as an example scripting language ('e.g., Python') but appears within the hard-requirements block under 'Scripting & Automation', so it is treated as a required skill with Python as the primary name and no alternatives listed (no other specific language is named).
No compensation, employment type, or degree requirement is stated in the posting.
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.
