Why we read it this way (7)
The role sits at the boundary of security analysis (cybersecurity incident response, IPS/DLP, SIEM, compliance) and network/firewall infrastructure operations (managing Check Point clusters, Zscaler ZIA/ZPA/ZDX, traffic/audit logs). 15-1212 was chosen because the primary day-to-day emphasis is on cybersecurity monitoring, incident response, and compliance; 15-1244 is a credible alternative given the heavy firewall and network infrastructure administration duties.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD accepts 12 years of relevant IT experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so no hard degree gate applies.
The clearance note references an 'FAA Personnel Suitability clearance (AMS 3.14-2)' — this is an FAA-specific suitability determination, not a standard DoD security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Candidates should be aware this suitability check is required.
U.S. Citizenship is explicitly required.
Telework is described as permitted only at the Government's discretion; the primary work location is Atlantic City, NJ, so the role is not classified as remote.
ServiceNow is listed under Preferred Qualifications as 'a plus' and is marked accordingly.
IPS, DLP, SSL Interception, and SIEM are listed in the responsibilities/requirements sections as specific named capabilities the engineer must implement and manage; they are captured as hard gates. Anti-Virus and Anti-Bot are also mentioned but are generic capability categories rather than distinct named tools, so they are omitted per guidelines.
