Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Senior DevOps Engineer' and centers on IaC, Kubernetes platform management, CI/CD pipelines, and Ansible automation — work that involves writing and shipping infrastructure code, which maps best to Software Developers (15-1252). However, the responsibilities section also describes website management, QA, and systems administration, creating some ambiguity with 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators).
The clearance requirement is stated as 'active Top Secret security clearance' — no SCI or polygraph is mentioned, so this is classified as Top Secret (not TS/SCI).
Kubernetes is listed with Rancher and EKS as named examples of platforms; these are captured as alternatives since any one satisfies the requirement.
Python and JavaScript appear only under 'Desired Qualifications' with 'Familiarity with' framing, so they are marked preferred.
AWS, Azure, and GCP appear under 'Desired Qualifications' as 'other cloud platforms'; AWS is listed as the primary skill with Azure and GCP as alternatives since any one satisfies the preference.
Security scanning and vulnerability management tools appear under 'Desired Qualifications' with no specific tool named; no alternatives are listed as the posting gives no named substitutes.
Containerized software engineering practices and agile methodologies also appear under 'Desired Qualifications', but these name no specific technology or tool and are omitted per extraction rules.
The 10-year overall experience requirement drives the total experience floor; the 5-year Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Ansible requirements are captured as the years demanded on those individual skills.
Requires a Top 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.
