What this job asks for AI summary
A Software Engineer role at a defense-focused geospatial firm, building and maintaining cloud infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling for cleared environments. Day-to-day work centers on provisioning AWS resources with Terraform and Ansible, deploying containerized workloads on Kubernetes, and automating Linux-based systems using Python and Bash under a DevSecOps model. Suits candidates with an active TS clearance who write infrastructure and automation code rather than purely operating existing systems.

Why we read it this way (8)
This posting is explicitly flagged as a 'potential upcoming opening' — not a confirmed live vacancy.
The clearance requirement is Active Top Secret with the ability to obtain SCI access and willingness to obtain a CI Polygraph. This is treated as a TS/SCI gate since SCI access is required (not merely preferred).
Chef and Security+ appear in the qualifications summary line alongside Linux, hardening, and scripting — treated as hard gates consistent with that required-skills framing.
Python and Bash are listed together under 'Additional Skills We'd Like to See' as a scripting pair; emitted as a single preferred skill with Bash as an alternative since they serve the same scripting function here.
The role title is a plain 'Software Engineer' with no level modifier, but the work described (IaC authoring, pipeline building, automation scripting) maps to mid-level scope. No overall years-of-experience figure is stated.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes infrastructure-as-code and automation scripts (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong systems/operations flavor — provisioning, hardening, monitoring — that could support 15-1244. The primary deliverable is code and pipelines, so 15-1252 was chosen.
No location is explicitly stated in the posting; RGi is headquartered in Fairfax, VA, so the Washington DC metro CBSA is used as the best available inference.
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.
