Why we read it this way (9)
The job title is 'Systems Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 6+ years requirement and scope of responsibilities support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary duties center on administering Databricks environments and managing AWS infrastructure (an operations/admin profile — 15-1244), but it also involves IaC development with Terraform/CloudFormation and automation scripting, which lean toward 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1244 was chosen because the dominant framing is administration, configuration, and operational support rather than shipping software.
Clearance requirement: Active Top Secret with ability to obtain SCI access and willingness to obtain CI Polygraph. This maps to TopSecretSci; the CI Polygraph is listed as a willingness requirement, not a current hard gate.
This posting is explicitly flagged as 'a potential upcoming opening' — not a currently open requisition.
Security+ CE (or equivalent) is listed as a hard requirement — candidates must hold it or obtain it within six months of hire.
Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint appear in the required qualifications section but are generic productivity tools rather than named technologies relevant to the technical skill pool; they were omitted from the skills list.
MLOps appears in the preferred section alongside Python libraries; it was omitted as it names a methodology rather than a specific tool.
Multi-cloud exposure (IBM, Google/GCP, Azure, Oracle) is listed under 'Additional Skills We'd Like to See' and is therefore preferred, not required.
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.
