Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'SA' (Systems Administrator) with 15 years of required experience in programs of similar scope — consistent with a senior-level systems administration role, though no explicit seniority label appears in the title.
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph is a hard gate explicitly stated in the posting.
A Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline is required, but the JD explicitly allows substitution with 5 additional years of SA experience (20 years total without a degree), so the degree requirement is set to None per the equivalency rule.
DoD 8570 IAT Level I (or higher) compliance is listed as a hard requirement; captured as a single skill representing the certification gate.
Linux and RHEL are listed together as 'Heavy Linux (RHEL)' — emitted as two separate skills since RHEL is a specific distribution of Linux, not merely an alias.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level I.
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.
