Why we read it this way (9)
The title says 'Junior' but the role requires a minimum of 3 years of work-related experience, which is more consistent with a Mid-level band.
Degree requirement is an Associate's degree OR equivalent experience, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
An active DoD TS/SCI clearance (or eligibility granted within the past 2 years) is explicitly required.
Only a minimum salary of $70,000/year is stated; no maximum is provided.
Active Directory / domain user administration is implied throughout the duties (user accounts, workstations, domain users) but is not named explicitly as a required skill — flagged here for awareness.
RMF, Microsoft MD-102/Endpoint Administrator, Microsoft 365 Administrator, and familiarity with MCEN-N/MCEN-S/JWICS networks all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section.
The MD-102 exam is listed twice in the posting (once as 'Endpoint Administrator' and once as 'Microsoft 365 Administrator') — this appears to be a copy/paste error in the original JD; both are captured as a single preferred skill.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Systems Update Server.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
