Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. Given the DoD/classified systems context, the role is likely on-site at a government facility.
The clearance gate states 'minimum of a DOD Secret clearance' as required, with TS/SCI eligibility listed as preferred — the hard gate is Secret.
The role sits between systems administration (15-1244) and information security analysis (15-1212); the day-to-day work is primarily access control operations and account/database administration, which aligns more closely with systems administration, but the security compliance and risk-assessment duties add meaningful InfoSec overlap.
DoD IT systems experience and HPC knowledge appear only under the 'Preferred Qualifications' heading.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated 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.
