Why we read it this way (9)
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role involves 0–10% travel and references office, industrial, or shipboard environments, suggesting an on-site or hybrid posture rather than fully remote.
SOC classification is a judgment call: the role writes and ships CI/CD pipeline automation, security tooling, and IaC (Ansible, Kubernetes), pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers; however, a meaningful portion of the work is operating and securing existing infrastructure (monitoring, incident response, vulnerability remediation), which could support 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes designing, building, and automating pipeline security rather than purely administering existing systems.
The experience requirement is tiered by degree: 9 years with a high school diploma, 5 years with a bachelor's, 3 years with a master's, or 0 years with a PhD/JD. Total years minimum is set to 5 (the bachelor's-degree path, the most common baseline).
Python, Bash, Perl, and Go are listed together as scripting options ('and/or'); Python is captured as the primary skill with the others as alternatives.
RHCSA is listed as the primary CE Linux certification with Linux+ as a named alternative; 'or equivalent' is noted but no other specific cert is named.
CISSP and CEH are listed together as preferred advanced certifications; AWS Security is listed separately as a preferred plus.
NTB (Navy Training Baseline) software deployment and troubleshooting is a hard requirement but is a domain-specific system rather than a named commercial technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.
DoD 8140/8570 compliance is a context qualifier for the Security+ requirement, not a separate skill.
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.
