What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on Windows and third-party application patching, vulnerability scanning and remediation, and administration of IIS and Microsoft SQL Server 2019, including writing SQL queries and scripts. It suits a systems or infrastructure professional comfortable working in a secure government environment, as an active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph is required. PowerShell scripting and data center familiarity are considered beneficial extras.

Why we read it this way (6)
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance is explicitly required — candidates without one cannot be considered.
The role is classified as systems administration (patching, vulnerability scanning, IIS/SQL Server operations) rather than pure security analysis, though the vulnerability scanning and remediation duties introduce a meaningful security component — hence the Information Security Analysts runner-up.
PowerShell is listed under 'Optional Skills' as the primary scripting language, with Python noted as potentially helpful; both are marked preferred. They are listed as alternatives since the posting treats them as interchangeable scripting options.
Nlyte (data center infrastructure management software) is explicitly flagged as 'not a necessity but helpful' — marked preferred accordingly.
No experience level, years of experience, degree requirement, compensation, or employment type 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.
