Why we read it this way (6)
The role requires a TS/SCI with Full Scope (Fullscope) Polygraph — the most demanding clearance tier; this will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
The degree requirement is flexible: a Bachelor's + 15 years, a Master's/PhD + 13 years, or a high school diploma/GED + 19 years are all acceptable paths, so no single degree level is a hard gate.
DoD 8570 IAM Level I compliance is explicitly required; IAM Level II or higher would also satisfy this gate.
The posting lists no specific location, so no CBSA could be determined. Given the cleared government work context, a DC-area or similar cleared-contractor hub is likely but not stated.
The role blends systems engineering assessment/architecture work (closer to 15-1211) with hands-on Windows/VMware administration (closer to 15-1244); 15-1244 was chosen as primary given the emphasis on system administration, OS configuration, and infrastructure operations, with 15-1211 as the runner-up.
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.
