Why we read it this way (9)
The role title is 'Cybersecurity Architect/Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; seniority is assessed as Senior based on 9+ years of required experience and technical lead responsibilities.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends security architecture/engineering (15-1212) with significant infrastructure/cloud engineering work (15-1299 or 15-1252). The primary day-to-day work — threat monitoring, RMF/ATO governance, vulnerability management, and security control validation — aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts.
The CI Polygraph requirement is listed as a hard gate in Required Qualifications ('CI Polygraph within last 5 years'); TS/SCI with CI Poly is also listed under Preferred Qualifications as the preferred clearance level. The role is classified as TopSecretSci to reflect the TS/SCI hard gate; the CI Poly is an additional hard requirement noted here.
CISSP is listed as one of several acceptable certifications ('CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty or Equivalent DoD 8140 certification') — one of these is required; alternatives are captured accordingly.
Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and Kustomize appear only under Preferred Qualifications as Infrastructure as Code experience examples.
Iron Bank, CKS, CKA, and AWS Advanced Networking appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
