Why we read it this way (7)
The posting requires an active U.S. Government Secret clearance as a hard gate; Top Secret clearance is listed under preferred qualifications.
No total years of experience are explicitly stated at the role level; seniority is assessed as Senior based on the scope of independent ownership (ATO packages, SSP development, continuous monitoring) and the expectation of prior ISSO or Security Engineer experience in DoD authorization environments.
The role is listed as fully remote ('Flexible and remote work options') with no specific metro or state indicated — CBSA fields are left blank.
Certifications (Security+, CISSP, CISM) are listed in the requirements section but framed as 'relevant certifications such as' — indicating they are illustrative examples rather than a hard gate on any single cert; captured as a preferred skill with alternatives.
Zero Trust and DoD IL-5/IL-6 experience appear only under preferred qualifications.
The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not identified.
Requires a 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.
