Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'UI/UX Developer' but the requirements demand substantial front-end engineering (React, Angular, TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, CI/CD), making 15-1252 Software Developers a better fit than 15-1255 Web and Digital Interface Designers, though the design emphasis is genuine — hence the runner-up code.
React and Angular are both listed together as required technologies; they are not truly interchangeable in a single codebase, but the posting lists them as a combined proficiency requirement rather than specifying one over the other, so each is captured as a required skill with the other noted as an alternative.
Java 17, Spring Boot, Hibernate/ORM, PostgreSQL, and AWS appear under a 'Familiarity with' clause, indicating awareness rather than deep expertise; these are marked preferred accordingly.
Section 508 web accessibility experience appears under Preferred Skills.
The role requires US Citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance — not an active clearance — so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note the Public Trust suitability requirement when screening candidates.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
