Why we read it this way (8)
The SOC classification is a close call: the role is titled 'Software Integration Engineer' and involves Kubernetes cluster administration, IaC, and scripting — it sits between systems administration (15-1244) and software development (15-1252). The primary day-to-day work described (administering, monitoring, and maintaining an existing PaaS platform) leans toward 15-1244, but the scripting, Helm chart authoring, and IaC work add meaningful development weight.
Clearance requirement is TS/SCI with an agency-appropriate polygraph, which is effectively TopSecretSci.
Degree requirement is marked None because the posting explicitly accepts 5 years of full-time CS work experience as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree.
The posted compensation range is listed as $0–$0/hr, indicating the actual rate is not publicly disclosed; no compensation figures are reported.
Work locations span multiple states (MD, VA, CO, TX, UT, AK, HI) and OCONUS; the CBSA is set to Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD as the company's primary base, but candidates should verify the specific contract location.
Prometheus and Grafana are listed together as a monitoring stack; both are captured as separate required skills since they are distinct tools used alongside each other, not interchangeable substitutes — however, the posting names them as a pair ('Prometheus/Grafana'), so each is also listed in the other's alternatives to reflect that pairing.
Python appears both as part of the required scripting skill (Bash/Python) and separately under Desired skills for application development (REST/microservices); it is captured once as required (as an alternative to Bash) and once as preferred for the application-development context.
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.
