Why we read it this way (6)
The posting states TS/SCI with BOTH polygraphs (counterintelligence and full-scope) as a hard requirement — the most demanding clearance tier.
Experience requirements are tiered: Bachelor's + 3 years minimum, OR no degree + 8 years minimum, OR 3 years SA experience in programs of similar scope. A bachelor's degree in a related discipline is also noted as required in the same section, creating an internal contradiction; the degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly offers non-degree substitution paths.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is listed as a hard requirement under LCAT Qualifications; common certifications satisfying this level include Security+, CCNA Security, CySA+, and GICSP, but no specific cert is named.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
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.
