We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled simply 'Programmer' with no seniority modifier, but the ~5 years of experience requirement and the combination of design, development, and implementation responsibilities support a Mid-level classification.
The skills listed (acoustic signal processing, parallel processing, SOA, real-time data analysis) are drawn from a combined experience description rather than a discrete required-skills list; they are treated as hard gates because they appear under 'Required Qualifications'.
The posting notes this position is contingent on contract award — the team is being assembled for a proposal, so the role may not be immediately active.
Work locations span Bethesda, MD and Manassas, VA (both within the Washington DC metro CBSA); the role is on-site with ~10% local travel between the two sites.
The degree requirement accepts equivalent experience ('or other degree that provides software development expertise equivalent to standard computer science curriculum'), but a Bachelor's degree is still the stated baseline — marked as Bachelors since the equivalency is degree-level, not a full waiver.
No security clearance is explicitly required, though the government-contract context (SHINE Systems, acoustic signal processing) suggests one may be needed post-award; the posting does not gate on it.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): real-time signal processing, service-oriented architecture, real-time data analysis.
