Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Cybersecurity Architect – Senior Technical Advisor' and is primarily an advisory/architecture position rather than a hands-on analyst or developer role; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the closest available code, with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) as a reasonable runner-up given the strategic/advisory nature of the work.
Clearance requirement is SCI (active within last 2 years), which maps to TopSecretSci. A polygraph within the last 5 years is listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications only, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Security+ (or equivalent) appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
NSANET, JWICS, SIPRNET, Palantir, and ArcGIS are listed under 'Working knowledge of' within the Required Qualifications section and are treated as hard gates accordingly.
The 10-year minimum experience requirement is stated at the role level ('Minimum of 10 years supporting DoD, Intelligence Community, or cyber mission organizations') and is captured as total experience, not tied to any specific technology.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Zero Trust Architecture.
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.
