Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the boundary between systems/network administration (15-1244) and DevSecOps/software engineering (15-1252). The day-to-day work described — installing, configuring, and maintaining Linux OS, servers, and networks; system monitoring; log review; package management; PXE/kickstart; virtualization — maps more closely to systems administration. The 'DevSecOps' title and CI/CD pipeline mention lean toward 15-1252, but the bulk of concrete tasks are operational rather than software-development-focused.
Security clearance: the JD states 'Ability to obtain US Secret clearance' as a hard requirement; an active Secret clearance is listed under Nice to have. Clearance is set to Secret (ability to obtain).
A B.S. in Computer Science or engineering is listed under Nice to have, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The extensive list of specific Linux subsystem tools (aide, chronyd, DAR, authselect, systemd-creds, journalctl, etc.) are all part of the same deep Linux expertise requirement; the most representative named tools are captured as individual skills. The full list in the JD also includes aide, chronyd, DAR, journalctl, authselect, and systemd-creds which are part of the same required toolset.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
