Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'Cybersecurity Engineer' but the primary day-to-day work — control validation, RMF/ATO evidence production, security testing, and continuous monitoring — aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts (15-1212). 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the engineering/integration framing.
No specific security clearance is stated as required, though the federal/FISMA context makes one likely in practice; the posting does not gate on it.
The degree requirement is a hard gate per the qualifications section; however, the posting does not offer an 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
Certifications (Security+, CySA+, CISSP, GSEC, CCSP) are listed under 'Preferred Certifications' — none are required. Security+ is listed as the primary with the others captured as alternatives since they are presented as interchangeable options.
Location is inferred from True Zero Technologies' known Mid-Atlantic base (DC/MD/VA region); no explicit city is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
