Why we read it this way (10)
Los Alamos, NM does not have its own CBSA; it falls within the Santa Fe, NM CBSA (29780).
The clearance requirement states candidates must be able to 'obtain and maintain a government issued clearance, if needed.' The posting does not specify the clearance level; given the LANL/NNSA nuclear-weapons context, a Secret or higher clearance is typical. Clearance is flagged as Secret as a conservative baseline — the actual level may be higher.
US citizenship is a hard gate due to the federal/LANL nature of the work.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a relevant field, but the posting explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree, so no formal degree is hard-required.
Agile/Scrum certification and experience are listed as 'preferred' in the posting.
The 'Desired Skills' section lists familiarity with LANL project management tools (P6, COBRA, CRES, Integrify); these are explicitly optional and have been omitted from the skills list as they are proprietary/niche tools with no broad market signal.
The role has a strong web-development focus (ASP.NET, SharePoint/CMS, UI/UX), which could support a 15-1254 Web Developers classification; however, the breadth of responsibilities — database design, system integration, REST APIs, Node.js — points to a full software developer scope, so 15-1252 is the primary classification with 15-1254 as the runner-up.
No compensation figures were published; the posting explicitly states GEM does not publish salary ranges on external job boards.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): UI/UX design.
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.
