Why we read it this way (5)
The clearance requirement states 'must be fully cleared with a recent polygraph,' which indicates TS/SCI with polygraph.
The role blends cloud engineering, software development, and systems administration roughly equally. It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because writing and maintaining code (Python, C++) and automating infrastructure are described as primary duties, but 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a genuine runner-up given the heavy Linux/RHEL sysadmin and patching responsibilities.
Desired qualifications covering analog/digital communications (satellite, AM/FM radio), video codecs, streaming, and broadcast equipment are listed under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked as preferred accordingly.
No compensation, employment type, or minimum years of experience are stated in the posting.
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.
