Why we read it this way (7)
The posting states 'active U.S. national security clearance' is required but does not specify the exact level (Secret, Top Secret, etc.). The clearance level has been set to Secret as a conservative default given the Navy/DoN context; the actual required level may be higher.
No specific work location (city/metro) is stated beyond 'Hybrid and Onsite Options available.' The CBSA fields have been left blank accordingly.
The pay scale is referenced but no actual figures are provided in the posting.
The '2-3 years' experience requirement is tied specifically to DoN accreditation work, not a general role-level requirement; it has been used to set the overall experience floor.
Continuous ATO (cATO), ISSO experience, IAM Level 3 certification, and NQV certification all appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-37.
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.
