Why we read it this way (8)
The role blends IAM/identity security engineering with program/delivery management (sprint planning, RAID logs, steering committee reporting). The primary day-to-day work is identity security delivery, so 15-1212 is the best fit, but 15-1299 is a reasonable runner-up given the heavy program management component.
The posting states 'Up to $65/HR' — the max is $65/hr; no minimum is stated. Both min and max are set to 65 to reflect the ceiling as quoted.
The position is described as onsite with 1 day remote per week — it is not fully remote.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree … or related experience required.' Because the JD presents the degree as the primary gate (with 'or related experience' as an alternative path), degree is treated as required at the Bachelor's level; however, candidates with equivalent experience may also qualify.
BeyondTrust EPM, BeyondTrust PRA, FIDO2/WebAuthn, SAFe, and SailPoint IdentityIQ appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the formal Qualifications section and are treated as preferred context.
SailPoint IdentityNow certification is explicitly listed as preferred in the Qualifications section.
Microsoft Entra ID and Okta are listed as alternatives for the 'at least one major cloud identity platform' requirement; both are also called out individually in the responsibilities, so each is also listed as its own skill.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
