Why we read it this way (6)
The posting does not gate on a specific degree; no degree requirement is stated.
No security clearance is explicitly required; the role involves FedRAMP/federal regulated environments but the JD does not mandate a clearance.
Terraform and containers appear only in the preferred/nice-to-have section ('Familiarity with … Terraform, containers … is preferred'), as does DevSecOps automation experience ('is preferred') and federal audit experience ('is a plus').
SaaS security best practices are called out as required alongside AWS but name no specific SaaS product; captured under the AWS requirement rather than as a separate vague skill.
Compensation range of $153,000–$220,000/year is stated explicitly; additional bonuses, equity, and benefits are mentioned but not quantified.
