Why we read it this way (10)
The posting states 'active security clearance' without specifying the level; given the DoD/classified network context (advising ISSO/ISSM on classified DoD networks), a Secret clearance is the minimum reasonable assumption — the actual requirement may be higher (e.g. TS/SCI).
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The role blends security analysis (vulnerability management, GRC, threat landscape) with infrastructure operations (patching, hardening, VMware), making the SOC classification a genuine judgment call between 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) and 15-1244 (Network/Systems Admins); the security analysis and architecture duties are primary, so 15-1212 was selected.
Python, PowerShell, and Bash are listed together as scripting options under a single requirement; Python is used as the primary name with the others in alternatives.
Ansible, Terraform, Chef, and Puppet are listed as interchangeable automation tool options; Ansible is used as the primary name with the others in alternatives.
NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 are listed as a single 'familiarity with' requirement under the required section; they are treated as a single gate with alternatives.
DoD RMF, VMware, open-source security tools, ACAS, Tenable Security Center, and Tenable Nessus all appear under the 'Preferred Skills and Experience' heading.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The company is headquartered in Suffolk, VA (Virginia Beach-Norfolk CBSA); the posting references personnel in multiple states but does not explicitly offer remote work.
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.
