Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a hybrid: 3 days on-site at Joint Base Andrews (Andrews AFB), MD and 2 days remote — not fully remote.
The clearance gate is SECRET with the ability to acquire TS/SCI; the hard gate is SECRET, so the clearance requirement is set to Secret.
Degree requirement: the JD requires a BA/BS (5 years experience) or MA/MS (3 years experience) in a relevant discipline. A Bachelor's is the minimum formal degree gate; the overall years minimum is set to 3 (the lower bound, applicable to MA/MS holders, but 5 years applies to BA/BS holders).
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role centers on Databricks pipeline/notebook development and GitLab repository management, which sits between data engineering/architecture (15-1243) and software development (15-1252). The pipeline-building and data-workflow focus tips it toward 15-1243, with 15-1252 as a close runner-up.
CI/CD pipeline setup is mentioned in the role narrative (establishing a foundational CI pipeline with GitLab-Databricks integration) but is not listed under the formal Required Experience section, so it is marked preferred.
Requires a Secret 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.
