Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'DevOps Engineer' with no seniority modifier, but the 15+ years of experience requirement and the scope of responsibilities (architectural recommendations, ATO preparation, cross-team integration) clearly support a Senior-level classification.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role writes and maintains CI/CD pipelines and automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a heavy systems administration and infrastructure operations component (pointing to 15-1244). 15-1252 was chosen as primary because pipeline development and automation are foregrounded, but 15-1244 is a credible runner-up.
The clearance requirement is Active TS/SCI, with willingness to obtain a CI Polygraph also stated — this is a hard gate on TS/SCI.
Python, Java, and ArcGIS appear only in the company 'About us' narrative describing general project tooling, not in the qualifications sections — treated as preferred/contextual rather than hard gates.
Infrastructure as Code and RMF appear under the 'Additional Skills We'd Like to See' section — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Location is not explicitly stated, but RGi is headquartered in Fairfax, VA and primarily serves NGA/Defense clients in the DC metro area — CBSA assigned accordingly.
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.
