Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is titled 'System Engineer Mid-level' but requires 5+ years of experience and involves complex, independent ownership of network infrastructure design, deployment, storage/backup systems, and accreditation activities — scope consistent with a Senior-level role. Advertised seniority reflects the title; assessed seniority reflects the actual requirements.
A CI Polygraph is not required at hire but candidates must be able to obtain and maintain CI Polygraph eligibility after their start date, depending on assignment. The hard gate at hire is an active TS/SCI clearance.
The SAFe Software Engineer (ASE) Certification is listed under Requirements and is treated as a hard gate, though it is an unusual requirement for a network/systems engineering role.
The role is hybrid (not fully remote), based in Washington, DC.
SOC classification is 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) because the primary day-to-day work is operating, administering, and maintaining network infrastructure — hardware, OS, protocols, monitoring, and troubleshooting — rather than building new software. 15-1252 is noted as a runner-up given the integration and design responsibilities.
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.
