The title 'Cybersecurity Engineer 2' implies a leveled series, but the posting provides no explicit seniority label (Junior/Mid/Senior). The 7+ years requirement and scope of responsibilities support a Senior classification.
DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level III and CND-IS certifications are hard gates listed under Minimum Qualifications, as is the RSA Archer Certified Administrator certification — these are treated as required credentials/skills.
Windows Server 2016 or 2019 Certification is listed as a minimum qualification; 'Windows Server' is used as the canonical skill name covering both versions.
The preferred skills section lists GRC platform experience and DoD compliance framework knowledge — these appear only under 'Preferred Skills' and are not hard gates.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level III, DoD 8570/8140 CND-IS, DoD cybersecurity compliance frameworks.
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.
