Why we read it this way (6)
The role has two listed work locations — Pocatello, ID and Huntsville, AL — which are in different CBSAs. Pocatello, ID (CBSA 38540) is listed first; Huntsville, AL (CBSA 26380) is the second site. The posting does not clarify whether candidates are assigned to one or both.
SAN, NAS, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and tape/local disk storage technologies are listed in the job description narrative as part of the role's core responsibilities rather than under a formal 'Required Skills' heading. They are treated as hard requirements given the role is explicitly defined around these technologies.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred,' not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Cohesity appears under the 'Preferred Skills' section and is marked accordingly.
The TS/SCI clearance is explicitly stated as a hard gate ('Must Have Clearance to Start').
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.
