Why we read it this way (8)
The caller has overridden the physical location (Arlington, VA, 5 days onsite) and directed that this be treated as fully remote with no metro assigned.
The posting explicitly requires a Top Secret clearance OR a DHS clearance; TopSecret is used as the closest standard gate — the DHS suitability/BI process is an additional federal background investigation requirement, not a separate clearance level.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily O&M and operational support of Zscaler network security infrastructure (pointing toward 15-1244 Network/Systems Admins), but the depth of security engineering, cloud architecture, and integration work also makes 15-1212 Information Security Analysts a plausible fit.
AWS, Azure, and GCP are each listed individually in the requirements section as cloud environments the candidate must support; they are listed as alternatives to each other here because the JD treats them as a group, but experience with all three is implied.
The 'REST API' integration skill appears in the work responsibilities narrative ('Integrate solutions with third party technology solutions through the API') rather than in a hard-requirements section, so it is marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a Top Secret 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.
