Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is listed as 'Remote / Hybrid' with no specific city or state given; no CBSA could be determined. Up to 25% OCONUS travel is required.
Clearance language states candidates must 'currently hold an active U.S. national security clearance or be able to receive and maintain one.' The specific level is not named (Secret, TS, etc.); the role is defense/C4ISR-focused, so a Secret-level gate is the most reasonable inference, but the exact level is ambiguous.
The bachelor's degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications and explicitly notes 'or equivalent experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-required.
OSPF is listed alongside EIGRP, MPLS, and VPN as interchangeable 'exposure' options under Required Qualifications but framed as 'a plus,' so it is captured as preferred with the others as alternatives.
Network monitoring/diagnostic tools (Spirent, T-Berd, SolarWinds, Wireshark) appear in Required Qualifications but are framed as 'experience using or exposure to… (e.g., …),' indicating familiarity rather than a hard gate; captured as preferred with alternatives.
CCNA, CCNP, Splunk, Security Onion, IPsec, 802.1X, VMware ESXi, and Hyper-V all appear under Preferred Qualifications.
The alt SOC 15-1299 is noted because the C4ISR/military network focus gives this role some characteristics of a specialized network analyst, but 15-1244 best fits the primary day-to-day work of configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting network infrastructure.
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.
