Why we read it this way (7)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'ability to obtain required DoD security credentials' — this implies a DoD-level clearance is a hard gate, though the exact level (Secret vs. Top Secret) is not named. Secret is the most common baseline DoD credential and is used here as the best inference.
CompTIA Security+ is listed as required 'or ability to obtain within required timeframe,' meaning the candidate need not hold it on day one but must obtain it — treated as a hard gate on the capability.
The role is classified as Database Administrators (15-1242) given its focus on building, validating, and maintaining clinical trial databases; Database Architects (15-1243) is a reasonable runner-up given the design and specification responsibilities.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
CRF development is listed as a named deliverable (CDASH-annotated Case Report Forms) and is a concrete, domain-specific artifact central to the role — included as a required skill. Generic regulatory/compliance frameworks (FDA, ICH E6, GCDMP) are domain knowledge rather than named tools and are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): CRF development.
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.
