Why we read it this way (7)
The JD gates on a Public Trust clearance (ability to obtain and maintain), not a formal national security clearance — the clearance requirement is set to None per schema rules, but hiring managers should note this is a hard suitability requirement.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Salary is listed as a single flat figure ($180,000) with no stated range; min and max are both set to that value.
CNAPP is listed with 'e.g., Wiz' and SAST/SCA with 'e.g., Snyk' — these are illustrative examples of acceptable tools, captured as alternatives rather than separate required skills.
NIST AI RMF, FISMA, and OMB AI guidance appear in both the responsibilities narrative and the Preferred Qualifications section; they are marked preferred. IAM and encryption appear only in the responsibilities narrative as practices, not gated technologies — IAM is included as preferred context; generic 'encryption' is omitted as a non-tool concept.
AWS Security and Azure AZ-500 certifications appear under Preferred Qualifications only.
The alt SOC (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) reflects that the role has a strong solution/enterprise architecture dimension alongside its security analysis focus; however, the primary day-to-day work — threat modeling, security posture, DSPM, CNAPP, AI-DLP — aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts.
