Why we read it this way (9)
The role blends network/systems administration with significant information assurance and RMF compliance duties, making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) and 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts). 15-1244 was chosen as primary because the hard-required skills (Windows Server, Active Directory, GPO, switch/router/firewall config, ESXi/VMware) are infrastructure operations skills, and the title is 'Network Systems Administrator'.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree and/or 5 years of relevant experience,' meaning experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
DoDD 8140 IAT Level 3 certification (or ability to obtain within 6 months) is listed under Key Qualifications as required. It is treated as a hard gate even though a grace period is allowed.
TS/SCI eligibility is listed as a hard requirement under Key Qualifications ('TS/SCI Clearance eligible'). Clearance is set to TopSecretSci.
NIST 800-53, RMF, DISA STIGs, SCAP Compliance Checker, STIG Viewer, and CISSP all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section and are marked accordingly.
Linux is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Key Qualifications section and is marked preferred.
The role is hybrid (60% in-office / 40% remote) at the Columbus, OH facility — not fully remote.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network switch configuration, router configuration, firewall configuration.
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.
